Unfortunately, there is no indication of the amps in Protect mode from the front display or onscreen info display. There is information in the manual of the protection circuit pertaining mostly to the unit shutting down when a speaker is wired incorrectly.
I’ve a lesser model of Onkyo receiver that did shut down by way of the protection circuit when this idiot did not power everything down while fiddling with wires. After powering back up, everything was fine.
Some time later, I noticed the receiver amps were in Protect mode when using the websetup. I would not have known it because there was never an audible indication that something had changed or any display of its state from the front panel or onscreen info display. I cleared Protect mode and still did not notice a change in performance. I cannot say why the amps went into protect mode as I did not check the status before the unit forced a power down when this idiot was playing with wires.
Unlike some lesser models, the RZ30 also features an automatic volume lowering feature to protect the amps when the temperature rises after playing at high volume for long periods of time. Unfortunately, the current temperature and fan speed are available only from the websetup.
As an aside, the manual mentions the color change of the onscreen volume indicator from blue to magenta when playing Dolby Vision signals but this is true just for TV led(RGB 8 bit 709 tunneling) Dolby Vision signals. Player led(YCbCr 4:2:2 8/10/12 bit) or Low Latency Dolby Vision signals will not change the color of the volume indicator from blue to magenta. This is the case with other brand AVP/AVRS as well.
