Solution
To determine where the problem is you will need to disconnect the speaker wires one pair at a time and try to turn the unit on. If there is a short in the wire where it connects to the speaker or receiver or a bad speaker the unit will turn itself off to protect against damage.
If when all the speakers are disconnected and it still doesn't work the problem is internal to the receiver. Will need service.
