HT-R330 Will Not Stay On

The receiver can be turned on with either the remote or the on button, but turns off after 2 or 3 seconds. I've checked the sleep timer and all connections, but can't find the problem. Has anyone experienced this? Can it be repaired? This is an old receiver with no warrenty. Thanks for your help.

The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and reconnect an input and a pair of speaker wires onto the unit. If the receiver still does not turn on than you will have to bring it in for service. Turn up the volume and if the receiver doesn’t shut down, power off the receiver and add another pair of speakers. Power up the unit again and turn up the volume. If it doesn’t shut down, power off the unit again. Now connect all your input sources and turn on your receiver. If the unit shuts down again, your unit will need to be further serviced at an authorized Onkyo service center.
