It could be going into protection due to a bad speaker or speaker cable. Disconnect all the speakers and see if it comes on normally.
If it does then connected them on at a time until the unit shuts down.You can connect a different speaker to the same wire to determine if the wire or speaker is bad.
If it still shuts off then disconnect all the inputs too and try it again. This is less likely but worth a try.
If it still has the same problem the fault lies inside the main unit of the HTS. Hope it's still under warranty as these are very rarely worth the expense of repair.

Hey bro thanks for the reply.Yeah my speaker cables are bitten by some nasty rats in my oldhouse.Do you think thats the reason ?if yes then should i replace the wires ?

Yes. Replace them. If they are on the floor then run them on the wall high enough to keep the rodents away.
