Don't know about Nakamichi but 2 previous false activations of protection circuit faults I've come across concerned falsely recognised imbalance of main + & - rails. Fool the monitor of these rails into thinking they are balanced and 'fault' disappears. Then a matter of balancing up zeners / diff gain or whatever in the mionitor circuit to bring back into line.
