Mark, my parts came today. It took me about 20 minutes and I have my
receiver working with a Dolby Digital DVD with full surround playing
now. Thanks for your help. I replaced the flame proof resistor with a
carbon, but I left it a little off the board. I will be more careful
with the load now that I know how touchy Sony equipment can be.
My Sound Craftsman amp can run down to 2 ohms and deliver about 1000
watts per channel all day long. It is a Class H amp, and built like a
tank.
Total cost to fix the receiver was $9 if you don't count the resistor
I had in my parts bin, and the tools and soldering station I already
owned.
Joe
