Thanks Greg and Russ for the suggestions. I will try switching to the B panel OUTPUTS today and see if that makes any difference. I just finished my first semester at school and in Electricity and electricity lab we pretty much just learned the basics: building &analyzing dc, ac, circuits. The last lab was on building and analyzing an RLC circuit. If it comes to the point where I need to open up the receiver I will (and good idea to do that at the lab with some people at school) but I don't know if I am far enough through the program to be able to do this yet, but it would really be a great learning experience. Another thing I really want to do with my education is to eventually fix this (i think its a 83) Roland Juno 106. It works fine but there is a faint oscillator note that always plays in the background, I even had it repaired before and ordered a new part that would apparently fix it offline and had a guy at House Of Guitars (Rochester, NY) replace it. However, the problem eventually came back. So since I am a musician and a music lover, it would be great to be able to fix electronic gear, such as receivers, speakers, etc. Anyways thanks again I really appreciate the great feedback. Jon
