Thanks. Let me open and check. But this was working just fine till 12 hours back and how can this happen suddenly ? I did not even move it. Actually I already have a new amp (Emotiva for music and Pioneer elite THX for Movies) and wanted to sell this on Ebay next week. I was using this amp in...

By power transistor you mean either or both 2SA 1494 and/or 2SC3858. I'm sorry for asking but I'm a mech engineer and not sure on how to check if these transistors are shorted. I do have a multimeter, solder iron etc at home.

Now sure on whether this will help but can you help me identify whay the problem could be.

I'm new in this forum so not sure on how to send image.

Thanks for working with me on this. Today is Sunday and I worked on this whole day and the progress is really good. I have managed to turn-on the preamp section (both channels). Since I knew that when i was doing the experiment, only one channel of this amplifier was connected, I was sure...

Update :- Please ignore above post regading different wires. I have now managed to turn on the amplifier by cutting the power supply to power amplifier section. Actually there are about 4 sets of wire coming out of the bridge network. 2 of these were going to the power amplifier section i.e...

I have already explained in my earlier posts (pasted below in red) on what i'm looking for...... Have you every heard to a road side or a band playing on street ? They play live with no amplifiers except the singer with a mic and a big speaker. All other instrument you can hear live i.e...

yes thats exactly what I will do. Thanks.

All, I did not say that the receiver is faulty. I said that it's the receiver. When I play movie on this receiver it worked fine. The sound is too good to be true. But when I play music it doesn't give 100%. I tested more pioneer elite receivers as bestbuy and also some onkyo for 2 channel...

Yes and I did send him a thank you card. The good thing was that even he was a audioholic and was more keen than me to go to the bottom of the problem. I later thought that it was kind of became a challange for him and told me that it's a complete mystery. Just to let you know, this guy deals...
