    • O
      odavisAug 19, 2025
      If the display isn't lit and there's no sound when the power switch is on, it may be due to the power cord not being securely plugged in. Check the power cord to ensure it is properly inserted. After turning the Power operation switch on, turn the power on with the remote control unit.

    Why does my Denon DRA-685 Stereo Receiver show 'PROTECT' on the display?
    • B
      Brenda DominguezAug 21, 2025
      The 'PROTECT' display on your Denon Stereo Receiver indicates a problem that requires attention. It could be due to: * Short-circuited speaker terminals: Switch the power off, connect the speakers correctly, and then switch the power back on. * Blocked ventilation holes: Turn off the receiver, ensure proper ventilation to cool it down, and then turn it back on. * Continuous high-power operation with inadequate ventilation: Turn off the receiver, allow it to cool down with proper ventilation, and then turn it back on.
