Hmmm... I have nothing that resembles that in my menu. I will have to try to look it up on the internet. But thanks for the tip! My 2809 has much the same procedure as Fred's 2808. It's a possibility that you may have to unlock your settings first before applying the trigger, if indeed you did that(applying the setting lock).
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

I’m feeling a bit of dejavu.
Randy went through this a while back with his Emo. I suggested that he send it back, he ignored that advice. He then spent a few days / weeks batting emails back and forth with the Emo folks. In the end, he sent it back.
Now here you are, in the same boat.
Now here I am, suggesting you send it back.
You’ll ignore that advice. Actually I have 3 days left to decide, and I haven't ruled out sending it back for a new one. Because it could be my stuff sending it into protection, or it may be the amp... what's certain is it isn't the speakers because only one time has it gone into protection while anything at all was playing. So what would the harm be in swapping this one out for a new one and see what it does, eh? Then if it did the same thing in the next 30 days I might just return it for good. P.S. Just wanted to clarify that I don't listen to my system full blast 8 - 12 hours a day. My fiancee works in the room with me, and while she's in here I have it playing at much more subtle levels so that we can talk back and forth and such. But as soon as she leaves to go somewhere, HERE COME THE JUICE!!!!!

Sorry, I didn’t read that. I’ve read your whole post now.
You said you used some different plugs for the trigger cord to get it to work (I’m assuming the Emo and Denon have different sized trigger ports). What did you use to get this to work? This will make a difference due to the grounding polarity on 12V DC. I would eliminate the trigger issue and disconnect the trigger cord. See if the problem persists with them disconnected. If it does, then the problem is the Emo. There is no other reason that should be causing the protection circuitry to kick in besides a resistance at the speaker (which will put it into over current if you are playing music or not). If the Denon did not go into protection mode when playing that speaker, then the problem is the Emo. If the Denon tripped out, then it’s the speaker (one of the drivers).

Oh, the speakers can trip it even when not playing? I guess I don't understand why that would happen. If it's not drawing any power, how does it trip the protection curcitry?

If you have a short in any driver, current will go to ground, and cause an over current situation. Just like a home breaker will trip if you have a short to ground.
