HELP!! Static and Clipping with AV Receiver

T

Todd

Guest
Hello all, I own a Aiwa AV-D58 receiver that I have been very happy
with for a few years now. Never any problems until recently.

At first I was getting "Over Level" warnings with a lot of clipping
and loud intermitent static. I attributed it to the input volume and
lowered all of the settings. Success until tonite. Now I have been
getting the same symptoms although alot more frequently and any
attempts to quiet them is futile. I finally unplugged everything and
hooked the VCR up to AUX 1 with 1 mono line so my son could watch
cartoons! That has done the trick for now....

I have tried resetting, allowing the receiver to cool down (although
no signs of overheating), eliminating all but one speaker at a time,
input volumes, different volume configurations etc.

Question...Any ideas what may be causing the problem and secondly I
just ordered a service manual online, am I getting in over my head by
hoping to fix anything myself???


Thanks in advance - Todd
 
You will have to send it out for service to a center that is able to
service Aiwa receivers. There are most likely some components that are
failing in the power supply, and or the audio output stage.

Thanks for your response Jerry. I don't mean to disregard your
comments although is there any chance that I could replace the
malfunctioning components my self? I am new to this although would
like to try. :)

Lets face it the receiver will probably cost more to fix than replace
from a service center and hell I would enjoy learning how to do this
stuff anyway!

Is it totally out of the question?

The receiver works fine until it has been on for 5 or more hours which
leads me to believe that it is a heat related issue. Any more
suggestions?

Thnaks again for your response - Todd
