Denon 710 protect mode

[BDR1783]

I’ve taken the cover off and blew it out thinking it had dust in it. Also while I had it unplugged tried to reset it with nothing hooked up while it starts up fine and after 40 seconds it powers off and back to flashing red light. I bought it used it’s worked fine for months. Thanks for any help

Unfortunately this is probably very bad news. The only think you can do is plug it in and do a hard reset before the flashing light comes on. I will admit that is a long shot, as the probability is the unit has a very serious fault, and needs repair or replacement. Repair tends to be expensive and the unit will have to be sent to an authorized repair center. I trust you have tested the unit unplugged form all other devices, especially the speakers, as this issue is frequently caused by shorts in the speaker leads. It just takes one whisker.

Yeah I unhooked everything even removed the cover and blew out any dust. Also checked all the speaker connections at the unit and speakers.

Did you disconnect the speakers before turning it on? If not, do that. If it's in protection due to a speaker load problem, it may come back to life so you can find the cause.

I have seen a lot of speaker wire that was chewed by dogs and cats- if you have pets, check that. Also, make sure the wires aren't shorting at the speakers, especially if you have banana plugs.

I had it on the lite hen table when I blew it out with air and cut it on with nothing plugged it and still came on for 20-30 seconds and powered off with the red light flashing so I’m afraid it’s something with the unit

Might see if you can get the factory reset to run....page 226 of the manual (pdf version).

Not much you can do as a consumer other than the resets.....you I assume tried a soft reset as well?

Only one I have done is hold power and channel-/+ until I get the initializing notification

Soft reset is unplugging it for a while....
