Why this the receiver continue to go to protector mode?

It really depends. If the protector mode happens after you start playing audio, then you most likely have a short in one of your speaker wires. Unplug all of them, and turn it on. If it works fine after that it is one of your speakers. If not something in the receiver, likely the amp has gone out. I had this same problem. Call support and tell them your issue, if they are unable to resolve, you can have it send in for service to be repaired. Of course this would assume you are still under warranty. I had this same problem. You can also upgrade you support for around $50, and they will extend you warranty for 2 years, and cover all the shipping. Good luck! It really depends.

Check for a possible short in speaker wires .Maybe a small piece of wire lying across terminals on back of unit. Or possible short in reciever.

I have not had this problem. I do tend to try to stay away from the handset, or turn the cordless phone over so that room sounds are not picked up on that receiver. Hope that you can work it out!

As Pat A. answered, sounds like you didn't take the plastic protector off. If you did and it still shows all 8's, the unit is defective and should be returned.

The latest firmware has not solved the HDMI problems, however there is a very simple solution to it. It's a bit annoying, but if you unplug the receiver then plug it back in the HDMI handshake problem goes away, at least for the current time you're using it. Not a permanent solution, but it works for the moment.

Call Onkyo customer service. I had the same issue and they took care of the problem. My receiver was repaired and shipped back to me in about a week. I was very impressed. Hope you have the same experience.

I don't have this issue. However before you think something is wrong with your receiver be sure you go into the Receiver's Home Menu&gt;System Setup&gt;Other Setup&gt;Auto Power Down. Check and be sure that Zone 2 doesn't have it powering down after 30 min. If this feature is off or is set to power down after an hour or more then you might have an issue. Good Luck.

I didnt have an issue with mine. You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio? Maybe try a different HDMI?

I had the same problem with my cable remote. I can turn the receiver off but I can not turn it on w the cable remote. I have to turn it on w the receiver remote. Neither Yamaha or cable co. could offer solution.

I believe it is because the cable box is "always on". So even if you turn it off or not the receiver still thinks it is on so it doesn't switch back to it because it doesn't receive a new signal to switch to. This is my understanding anyway. Not sure if there is a workaround for this.

this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead. I have one, and I have to tell you this is the worst receiver i have! My problem only happends viewing BD/DVD, mostly with Dolby Tru HD decoding and looking a very high frequencyt scenes liek the ones on Resident evil -extintion. I revise, reset, disconnect and do everything that the web site told me to. Also, I start testing each speaker, and disconnecting one speaker at a time and repeating the scene that is causing the protector to activate. I thaught I found the problematic speaker, but wrong, it happend again, same movie same scene... it is very frustrating My advice, return the unnit, get a Yamaha....

It must be a problem with the receiver.I did not have any problems with the volume.

There is a plastic piece under the earpiece. Remove this piece, turn it over or around and reinsert it. It will stand up high enough to hold the receiver in place when the phone is mounted on the wall. This instruction will appear in the phone's user manual.

I have the same problem. I assumed it was caused by running the sound through a receiver. Does it do it using the tv speakers? I would like know too.

I had the same problem a few months back. It is a safety feature that stops the system from overloading. I noticed at the back where i had connected my speakers there was quite a bit of copper wire showing and again on some of the speakers. I cut them down so there was just enough wire for connection to the back of the receiver and to my speakers. Since then it has not switched itself off once.

I occasionally have that problem as well. I just pull the receiver out and turn the mouse off, and then put the receiver back in and then turn the mouse back on and it works fine.

Your TV probably has HDMI CEC enabled (control via HDMI) and it keeps "asking" your receiver to pay attention to it. I had a similar problem until I turned this "feature" off in my TV setup. Turning it off will disable the HDMI CEC pass through to your TV though (when the receiver is in standby/off mode), so if you want to use your TV speakers WITHOUT using the speakers connected to your receiver, you will have to leave the receiver powered on and change the HDMI audio parameter using the remote: receiver-&gt;audio parameter-&gt;HDMI - from AMP to THROUGH. I personally don't care if the receiver is on or off as long as I have the ability to either use my home theater speakers or just my TV speakers is it's late at night or kids are sleeping etc.
