Question Pioneer VSX-831 Amp Fault - Protection Mode

[HudsonJDH]

Tried resetting and after it ran through diagnostic again, displayed the same error, first "NG:LCRSLSR" and after pressing enter it says "DET.PROTECT :V" Which iirc means DC detected, any ideas?

I really hate when people answer threads saying "why don't you google that!" BUT in this case that actually IS a good idea. Whenever I encounter an error message I don't recognize, I google search the message. I then get presented with a ton of threads from people having or having had the same problem, and often a solution.

If it happens without speakers connected most likely one or more amp channels is blown. Given its' age the warranty is probably not in force. Repair is likely to be almost as expensive as replacement.

I should have probably worded it better than, because I did Google the issue, I know it means DC detected, gone through several different threads of many different sites and found exactly 0 fixes, I was just looking for a way to fix it as I know that if I take it in for repairs, I will be charged WAY too much. Although in the future, FYI people who reply telling people to Google the question are worse than people who actually don't Google the problem.
