    Pioneer SX-525 - No sound at all

    Hey all! I picked up a Pioneer SX-525 in a salvage shop for a measly $5. Got it home today, powered it up, and it glows like the first day out of the box. But I have no sound! So, I replaced the left and right "protection" fuses, found an unwrapped yellow wire that went to one of the large...

    Denon AVR x2100w Protection Circuit/Mode

    My 2100 was working flawlessly until my 9-year-old was showing off and cranked up the volume super fast up to max volume. It was there for about 5 seconds before it got turned back down.

    My Pioneer SX-780 just caught Mono
