"Protect" message on receiver

[PaulM44]

I have been using DVD Shrink and InterVideo DVD Copy 2 to back up my DVD's. I have run into a strange problem with two movies (Saw and Batman Begins). They both seemed to copy fine and playback initially works. However, at several points in the movie my receiver that the DVD player is connected to shows the message "Protect" on its screen and after a few seconds it powers off. I can power it back on and the movie continues fine for a while. This always happens at the same point in the movie. My DVD player is a Sony DVP-NS500 and the receiver is a Sony STR-DE697. Any idea what causes this or how it can be avoided?

my receiver that the DVD player is connected to shows the message "Protect" on its screen and after a few seconds it powers off.

This usually means that the line/audio level going into the rec. is too high.
Is there anything hooked up between the dvd player and the receiver ?
If you go into the setup on the sony dvd player are there any audio level settings you can adjust ? I know on a sony 5 disc dvd/sacd player i have you can do this.

Which program did you use to back these dvd's up with ?
You name 2.
If you are using shrink you really dont need InterVideo DVD Copy 2 and i know shrink will not raise the audio levels i don't know about InterVideo DVD Copy 2 as i have never used it.
& you can use ImgBurn to record the image to dvdr from shrink.

Protect is like a circuit breaker in the amp that prevents it from overloading. This is usually caused by speaker wires that touch or if you have the volume too loud and drive the amp to clip (distort). The protection circuit probably kicks in when there is a peak in volume, like something blowing up on screen.

Possible solutions:

1. Turn it down

2. Get a better receiver

3. Get high efficiency speakers like Cerwin Vega or Klipsch (8 Ohm speakers only)

4. Get a powered subwoofer and filter the bass BEFORE it goes to the amp

Well, i know this happens when you have to high of a signal going in also.
One of my 4 surround systems i have a 10 band graphic equalizer inline and when i boost certain freq. too much it will do this, and the same system has my sony 5 disc dvd/sacd player on it and it also has level controls in the menu for the 5 diff. analog outputs for the 5.1 direct output and also for the digital output, front, surround, that is why i suggested them.

If it was a few of the other possible problems i would think it would do it on anything you played.
And it is stated it is only those 2 movies and i know doing a BU usually does not touch the audio or raise it, unless you are using some crappy program that want's to re-encode everything, & i know DVD Shrink does not do this. 8)
