NAD C315BEE Protect mode

R175 is a shunt to ground in the output circuit - should have close zero DC and only AC as output signal.
R176 looks to be part of a RCL on the output circuit.
You either have a shorted transistor that is allowing 30Vdc to the output circuit (my best guess). Or you have oscillations and that is creating heat, but wouldn’t show as DC on the output, as it would be AC oscillation.
 
I replaced all bad transistors and resistors.
No protect mode..
Amplifier power on,2 channels works,
Idle current ok 7.5mv.
I turned on the music quickly, not very loud
But some resistors are very hot......
For example r268,r168,r190,r290...even in sleep mode

Those are 3 watt resistors, so even if over-spec'd by 1 watt (which they probably closer to 0.5w over sized), dissipating 2 watts would create quite a bit of heat. The fact that you have consistency, would indicate it is as designed.
You could measure voltage drop across the resistor and calculate the power dissipation to be sure.
