grasshopper Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hmmmmm my remote control on the doghouse system has developed an intermittent problem. I did do some KISS troubleshooting. Replace batts. Power everything down/hard shutdown. ..unplugged... I powered things down last night. Lightning was popping. Closed the window. When I powered things back up... the receiver remote didn't work very good or at all. Oh darn... I will have to get a "new" receiver. The display is almost visible on the receiver, too. I don't think/know if it's worth repairing. It's an older Sony 5.1. 110W/ch Guess I will be doing some shopping. Don't need a showcase piece... just something that works enough to push these RP600s. Appearance isn't critical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the top off, there are usually a couple fuses inside, it's free to check. If not many people bought from this place refurbished but in some casses a longer warranty. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/category/avreceiver/home-audio/receivers-amps/home-theater-receivers/1.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see a alligator than a spider, a spider has to do nothing and I may have heart failure. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Chores today... every day.... Gets real bad when I shirk my duties and take a day off. thinking about making lasagna for dinner. Need to see what is available to toss in it. This is one dish I make vegetarian. Summer squash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli and about any veg that ends in an "I", lots of cheese/s. i'll get a 9 X 9in and a 13 X 9in pans.. I can't make a small batch. The filling always seems to make a gallon. Then I get to do my Garfield impression.... for breakfast, lunch and dinner fr a few days.....and enjoying it the whole time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the problem is with the remote and not the amp.The display issue is and has been coming on for a while. Makes it tough to set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 There have been some great components and just receivers listed in the garage sale for the past while. They are hardly ever at a convenient time for me and my wallet. Usually pop up right after I fork out for something! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' When I smoke in the summer i only need to raise the temp about 125 degrees and much less if I move it into the sun. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I called the cardiologist, to make an appt -yearly follow up. Can't get in. He has taken ill, and may not be returning.... Sad when the patient is healthier than the Dr. I haven't had any symptoms to cause me to see a Dr.... so, I saved myself a 2hr [one way] trip. While I was in a telephone mood, I decided to call the stereo hospital in Tucson. about a reconditioned amp... he went and retired... Strike two. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
