I think I just ruined my amplifier,
I was measuring center voltage because right channel was a bit weaker, and everything was fine,
0mv for left and -0.5mv for right, then bump a smoke, bad smell, protection kicked in, now it stays in protection mode,
I was careful not to short the pins, I even put some tape on multimeter clamps, but maybe I was not careful enough..
I remember doing this some years ago when I found this thread, and I shorted some pins with the multimeter, protection kicked in and nothing happened, but it seems now is trouble,
It's a beautiful JVC AX-1100, I even have the schematics but not the knowledge to fix anything..
I measured the current with the protection on, and now L is 67v, R is 0.6v, still can't believe this..
