SX-828 problem

Hello,
I have a pioneer sx-828 that blows a fuse if I turn it on using the power switch. If I leave the switch on and use a surge protector to turn it on everything is "fine".
Any thoughts.
Thank You
 
The power switch can be the Achilles heel on those receivers. The ones with the "On" and "Speaker" selections in one switch.
Some repairs are successful others will require a replacement from a donor.
Some will bypass the switch and use a surge protector as you did. Even after replacing the switch, a surge protector is a good idea, saving the switch during the time you are using the receiver.
The switch causing a short is an unsafe condition even if you have it operational, rigged to the power strip. You should decide on a plan of action regardless.
