How can I fix my [stereo, JVC, DR-E5L]?

The internal fuse(1.25A) blew when I switched the stereo on [JVC, DR-E5L]. I changed it and put a new fuse in, it blew again, why?

Hallo I am owner of this unit .Problem with this fuse usually means distroyed output amplifier STK 4181.
Repair is not so simply, because usually internal processor is also damaged. contact me at skala.j@worldonline.cz

THE FUSE IS THERE TO PROTECT THE RADIO FROM DYING.
IF IT BLEW A FUSE THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE/ MOST LIKELY IN THE WIRES
IF ITS A CAR STEREO AND IT ISNT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE CHECK ALL THE CONNECTIONS BECAUSE MOST LIKELY A RED WIRE OR YELLOW WIRE IS TOUCHING SOMETHING METAL , OR ITS TOUCHING THE BLACK WIRE.
IF ITS A HOME STEREO AND ITS BLOWING FUSES, JUST BUY A NEW STEREO BECAUSE GETTING ONE REPAIRED COST AS MUCH AS BUYING A NEW UPDATED ONE.
OF COURSE YOU DIDNT WANT TO HEAR THAT. BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WILL REPAIR THEM FOR CHEAP ARE HARD TO FIND.
EVERYONE WANTS TO GET RICH OVERNIGHT
GOOD LUCK ON THE RADIO. I HOPE YOU FIX THE PROBLEM
