Marantz AVR Popping and going into protect mode.

I just got a used Marantz 6004 AVR.

I have a BR player and a cable box input, and one output to my projector. The front three channels are pre-out to an amp and the side two are run off the AVR. I used this configuration with a Sony AVR with no issues.

Last Sunday, I watched football for over 5 hours with no issues. Throughout the week we have watched 30 to 60 minutes at a time with no issues.

Today, I ran Audyssey. Everything seemed to work great and the settings seemed good. But since I ran audyssey...every 20 minutes, I hear a loud pop from all the speakers and the AVR goes into protect mode. This happened four times, then I just shut the unit down.

The AVR stays off for around 30 seconds and then clicks back on like everything is normal. The last time it happened I was listening at volume that I could barely hear, so I'm definitely not pushing the unit at all. Plus like I said...the front three channels are amped up.

What could be the cause?
Why would running Audyssey have anything to do with this?

Please help!!!

    This happened to me with a pioneer elite receiver. what tech support told me was that because I didn't have the front 3 amp sections turned off the AVR was seeing a blown speaker and was going into protect mode. I turned the front amp sections off and never had an issue again. Not sure if marantz is the same but maybe it's something to look into.

    I had an Onkyo 705 that would get terribly hot when audyssey was on, if I left it on it would eventually go into protection. Never was able to solve the problem.

    Thank you, I will see if that is an option.

    It was a little hot, but doesn't audyssey turn off after I run the set up? Or am I not understanding it correctly?

    No audyssey is digital processing, it eq's digitally. Analog sources are converted to digital, processed then converted back. You can have audyssey set levels and distance, then turn it off.

    Ok, just turned the unit back on and Audyssey was on. I just turned it off, so we'll see how it goes.

    So if I turn the Audyssey off, the distances stick?
    Or only when the the audyssey is on?
    Am I missing a big benefit by having to turn it off after the distances are set?

    Yes the distance and levels remain, as far as benefits go having audy eq or not is just preference.
