Default Pioneer QX949 relay?

I have a qx949 that popped and stopped making sound. I took the cover
off and see that the relay(MS4U 24VDC) is clicking and arcing. I
cleaned the contacts with 600grit and air but it did not fix it. If
the relay is bad were would I buy one? Is this even the prob? Thanks
for any input.


The relay may well be damaged by now, but the clicking and arcing you
describe is an amplifier problem. That's why the clicking - the protection
circuit is reacting to a large DC offset.
