No sound problem with Sony STRDA777ES receiver

[DavidY]

When I returned home today, I turned on the receiver, TV, CD, and VCR via Cinema 7 remote's macro....no sound from any source. Checked all the connections on the back of the receiver...no loose connections. My 1 year old Sony 777ES receiver has been running fine for the past 2.5 months since it was repaired (major flameout due to a possible shortcircuit: Sony Canada replaced mainboard, IC's, transformers, etc.).

One possible solution is to replace the Sony receiver with my Technics receiver and DD/DTS decoder from my bedroom system. However, I would have to remove all the banana connections on the speaker cables so they can fit into the Technics speaker clips.

And I don't want to once again return (read: move) this 60 pound box back to my local dealer. Transporting this receiver down three flights of stairs is a real pain.

Any other tips before I try this?

Is it powering up? Fuse if not, perhaps. But either way, your looking at a dealer trip. I say make Sony eat it and get you a new piece. You shouldn't have to take this kind of quality. Unfortunately, that's been my experience with Sony last few years. Goodluck!
