I have a Kenwood KR-V5090 Amplifier with built in radio. Following a power cut last week, when I power it up, it constantly goes into 'Protect Mode'

This means that the display blinks 3 times (as it would anyway), then shuts off, at which point the standby light starts flashing.

I have unplugged the speakers (the protect mode is, apparantly for a speaker short), and have unplugged everything else. No change.

Any ideas?

I have a Kenwood KDC-148. I removed the faceplate and there was a small reset button. I drove around for 3 weeks before I found it. Worked for mine.

I have the same problem as well!! If you push the reset buttom above the USB port, it will work for a little while again - sometimes for a couple days, sometimes for 30 seconds - then all that needs to happen is a little skip in the CD or something & it goes back to flashing protect. What a messed up piece of merchandise. These decks need to be recalled or something. ):
