I picked up an SX-950 a month or so back from a local guy that I have bought equipment from in the past. I was actually picking up a set of speakers from him for a friend and he mentioned that he had recently lost a channel in his SX-950. He didn't want to bother with having it repaired since he has other receivers that he could easily put in the SX-950s place, and he offered it to me as is. The overall condition was very nice so I grabbed it.
I have removed all of the outputs and tested them with the 6-way test. 2 of the 8 tested bad with the 6-way test. I can also see some resistors were cooked, and I expect that some transistors on the amp board may also be toast.
My plan is to completely rebuild the Power Amp board and replace all 8 outputs. I may also rebuild the power supply, but I was thinking of fixing the amp board first to see if I can get the unit working correctly.
By searching previous threads on the forum I have put together the following list for the Power Amp board. Can you guys please let me know if I'm on the right track with this? Also what is the usual cause of this type of failure? Anything else that I should be on the look out for as a cause of the blown channel? I certainly don't want to rebuild the entire amp board only to have the channel blow again because I overlooked something.
