Aiwa AV-D67 Receiver going into protection mode?

[Evilwayz]

I have a Aiwa AV-D67 Receiver that keeps going into protection mode I believe. It will stay on for a few seconds and then shut down. I have tried a few different speakers and even keeping the volume low but it still just shuts down after a few seconds. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks for any help.

Usually the amplifier is blown.

If I remember Aiwa had a mayor recall on there units, some kind of law suit due to a defect. this was issued here in the States a couple years ago.

You place a CD in the player, and it spins for a bit but never finds the list of tracks on the CD and returns some kind of error. This problem may occur regularly or intermittently.

Is this worth repairing or better just to buy a new receiver?

Depends what's blown, is it a discrete amplifier, or does it use a large STK chip?.

It is a lower end receiver so I would have to guess it uses a chip and not a discrete amplifier. Just a guess. The receiver only cost around $200 brand new.
