I bought this RX-V995 in 2000 and for the last 2 years the motorized remote is intermittent, but only in THIS HOUSE for some reason. Took it back where I bought it for repair, then a week later I get a call from the guy working on it saying he can't find a damn thing wrong with it. So we tried everthing we could think of. Tried stackng magazines on top so it would heat up, tried moving it around to different positions to start with , then hitting volume on the remote. Worked perfectly every time. We know it's not my remote control...that was easy to rule out.
After six weeks of futzing with it, he finally said to come get it. If he couldn't make it fail, he couldn't fix it without just "throwing parts" at it. Then we found out that the volume control unit isn't available anymore anyway.
So I picked it up, knowing full well once I got it home and plugged it in it was going to go right back to what it was doing. I was right of course, but it took a few days.
Then I remembered that we have ratty AC line voltage out here, based on what I went thru with my computer. My UPS has a voltage readout that is changing constantly from 113V to 120V and all points in between.
Could a good line conditioner make it work? Anyone else had this issue???
