1. did you assign the trigger in the setup menu?
2. why would you keep an amp that keeps going into protect mode?
Setup menu eh... actually no, I didn't realize I needed to do this.
I've been trying to trouble shoot the protect mode thing since it had nothing to do with what it should have to do with. I dunno, the Denon did go through a fire as you'll recall. And although it seems to work just fine I wasn't sure if perhaps there was an unforseen problem with it, so I'm trying to give the Emotiva a chance. Now that I have all of my HT electronics switched over to a separate circut, I'm keeping my eye on it to see if it continues to do so for no apparent reason. If so, then I might consider sending it back (have 4 days left in the trial period).
But the biggest reason is, because over all I'm very pleased with it.
