B&K amp problem

As you can tell from my sig line, I'm a big fan of B&K products.

One of my amps, the ST2140 (140 wpc), however, is giving me some trouble.

If I power it up manually (with the on/off switch) it works normally. However, if I use the 12V control signal from the preamp to turn it on I get a very loud BZZZZZT through the right channel. It only lasts for a couple of seconds and then the amp seems to work fine. I've tried swapping out the preamp & doing a preamp reset & the noise is definitely coming from/staying with the amp.

I know simple solution is to just turn the amp on manually, but this is the bedroom system & it would be really nice to be able to turn the system on with the remote & not have to get up to turn on the amp.

I also have a ST1400 II which seems to be internally identical (part numbers on the circuit boards are all the same) & I've tried swapping out the control voltage circuit boards & the on/off switches with no effect.

Any suggestions? I've emailed B&K, but no response yet.
