Somebody must tripped on my speaker wires. I turned on my Harman and
Kardon AVR100 and after 3 seconds, it went to protect mode (red button
ring). I found out that the speaker wires were pulled from the
speakers and were shorted. I disconnected everything at the back of
the receiver and turned it on but just the same, it goes to protect
mode after 3 seconds. I checked the fuses visually and they seem to be
ok.

What could have been damaged? Is it worth fixing?

Most likely the output stage devices and drivers are damaged. This is a
repair that should be done by an experienced service tech that is good with
audio amplifiers.
