Hi folks,
I have a receiver, Marantz SR 7005, worked well for about 10 years. The HDMI inputs/outputs are now dead. Just don't have the heart to throw it away.
Before I consider disposing it, I was thinking of using it with a 3.5mm to RCA stereo cable.
- With the HDMI unusable, Can I use receiver with just analog audio Inputs? If it works, is there anything that I need to watch out or be aware of?
- If it works, would it be possible to disconnect the HDMI board from receiving power? Just thinking, maybe it's safe to disconnect. I could feel and smell one hdmi chip, getting super hot & burning.
- Will the optical inputs be usable with power not being disconnected from the HDMI board? The optical being digital, is on the same board as the HDMI.
Any other suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Cheers
