Sony STR-DE595 5-Channel Amplifier

Sony amplifier power

posted by uscsae on May 27, 2006


I have a typical Sony Amplifier that is about 4 years old. The power button which has not changed makes a click when I push it. But the unit does not come on in terms of script or power to speakers or anything. I know the plug works as I tested it. What do you think the issue is?

Hi uscsae,

This is usually caused by a blown fuse or a blown capacitor. The fuse would be cheap and easy to fix, the capacitor would be expensive and replacement would be my choice. If you are pretty handy with electronics, unplug it, take the cover off the unit, and look near the capacitor for the fuse. Check the fuse for a break in the wire inside it. You can get these fuses at Radio Shack. Hopefully this is what it is, and will be a cheap and easy fix for you.
Let me know how it goes.

Best regards,
nightdiver
