How do you fix a Kenwood radio that says protect?

Turn off the receiver and let it cool for a few hours; then try again. If the protection mode warning doesn’t go away on its own, press the reset button. If that doesn’t work, disconnect the power lead from your receiver for 30 seconds and then reconnect it. If it still doesn’t work, it’s time to take it to the dealer.
