please help...onkyo tx-sr702 "protection mode"
Hi I just bought an onkyo TX-SR702 two weeks ago and it worked fine for 1.5 weeks. Then last night when I was watching tv it shut off. Now when I turn it on it turns right off and says protection. I called onecall.com where I bought and they said I can return it but I have to pay for shipping. I don't really mind I guess but I don't want it to happen again. I am currently using two Klipsch KG 3.5 and the Klipsch website says they are rated at 65 watts max continuous and 325 watts peak and 8 ohms. My reciever is rated at 100 watts. Is this okay or the cause of the failure? Also is there anyway to reset this so I don't have to ship it back or is there some real damage? I thought it might have been an overheating issue so I let it sit unplugged from the wall and all speakers and input/outputs over night. Then I turned it on this morning but with the same results. Any help is greatly appreciated.
