Why is my push power protector not working?

If a cord is frayed or in contact with another terminal, an error will occur. Fix the connection to prevent a short circuit. Make sure the speaker impedance is within the recommended range. If the impedance is not correct, sound will not come out properly and the speaker may be damaged.

What to do if your home power protector is flashing?

This is normal. To reset the internal surge protection circuit unplug the AC power cord from the wall for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the top of the home audio device has proper ventilation to keep it from overheating. Running the home audio device in a poorly ventilated cabinet can trigger the protection circuit.

What causes a speaker to go into Protect Mode?

Reduce the volume level. If the impedance of any of the speakers is below the rated impedance range indicated on the rear of the home audio device next to the speaker connections, the home audio device may enter the PROTECT mode. Raising the volume with a low impedance speaker will trigger the protection circuit.
