Sony Str-de945 Receiver Flashing: 'protector' And No Sound?? Help!

I have speakers that arent that powerful (but in good shape) hooked up to it - I actually use it in my garage but can't get consistent sound out of it and it always mutes and flashes PROTECTOR often after a loud surging unhealthy sound through the speakers when I power it on.
