I'm having this problem recently with my Marantz PM5005. After shifting to my new room, I connected the setup and played for 3 days, everything went fine. On 4th day, I plugged in the amp, turned the power switch <click> blue input LEDs lit <click> turned off and the power LED started blinking. The amp goes into protection mode. I was plugging the 15A plug into 6A socket.
Tried different sockets, different rooms, nothing. Checked the voltage, steady. Called the dealer, told me to get a 15A stabilizer. I don't see any flickering and the meter shows steady voltage, why would I buy the stabilizer ? I took the amp with me to the dealer, he unplugged his AVR and put the cord in, the blue LEDs are lit and stays lit. Powered on / off several times, no problem. Only thing is I didn't take my power cord with me so I'm not sure what's at fault. Brought back the amp and same problem. Took again and this time dealer said he'll get me a new unit if faulty. But same thing, plays fine at his place.
