Denon dead?


Hi all,
Maybe a stereo doctor can pronounce it dead? I have a Denon AVR 5805 that started to develop random static and pop. It's had troubled sound in all modes from all sources. Most recently I did a factory reset and now I have less than before. The speaker connects are dead and only speaker #3 provides sound but only rear channels? I have moved source connections around and changed sources but the problem persists. Any ideas? Should I be making funeral arrangements?

I’d look locally for a Tech and pay the service charge of a look see. If its worth fixing after a look see then go for it, if not then you know, and have not spent any serious money. My tech charges one hour labour for diagnostics about $50 I think that would be warranted to see if its worth fixing.

I’m a firm believer in local techs over sending back to the manufacturer (unless there are parts only the manufacturer will supply). Audio electronics isn’t rocket science so any competent tech should be able to diagnose your amp.

it would be sad to spend huge money replacing when something simple was wrong.
