The amplifier load is excessive. The heat sink temperature has exceed 85˚C. The heat sink temperature has exceeded 95˚C. A DC voltage of +/-2 V or greater was generated in the power amplifier's output circuit. Locate and correct the cause of the short. Use a speaker system with an impedance of at least 4Ω (stereo) or 8Ω (bridge). The PC limiter circuit operates to protect the power transistors. Check the ventilation slots, and improve the airflow around the amplifier. Warning by the TEMP indicator. Check the amplifier ventilation conditions and take appropriate measures to improve airflow around the amplifier. The thermal protection circuit operates to protect the power transistors. Consult your dealer or nearest Yamaha service center. The relay operates to protect the speaker system.
