Maybe unrelated, but today for the first time I drove my Denon into protection mode. I was working out on the other side of the house and had the system jamming in 7-channel stereo (around -10 or -5 dB on the gain control).
About 20 minutes into my workout, the music died. When I went to look, the front panel light (on the power button) was blinking red. Toggled it on/off and it came right back on, which I can only assume meant that I was indeed driving it too hard and it gave up on me after 20 minutes.
I had my mains set to full range.
