20 Most Recent Sony STR-DA30ES Receiver Questions & Answers

I have a Sony DA30ES - 18 years old now (legal age to smoke knock on wood) and started getting clicking, popping, static and other noise that I could whack out of it for a time but recently started getting 'Protect Mode' and no audio. I gave it a visual inspection and although dusty inside, no broken fuses, bad solder joints, loose pins/ICs or bloated caps. So I was thinking replacing caps due to the age but after fiddling with it and trying to narrow faulty caps I realized there's a BLACK RUBBER CUBE glued to the bottom of the Main Board accessible when unscrewing the bottom plate. When pressing up on this Rubber Cube the receiver would work no problem. So I think the rubber cube has decayed/shrunk (18 years). I added cut to size sticky foam pieces (from command strips) directly to the cube to prop-up this section of the Main Board with the bottom plate closed and problem solved. Leave it to Sony to build a superior product 18 years ago that still works beautifully today. Sony's high end products only fail due to rubber belts (walkmans) and pieces like this rubber support cube. Thank you Nihon ES Engineers! ?? ??

What part of FAN ERROR implies an external reason? The FAN is implicated.

A web search for "STR-DA30ES fan error" leads to lots of owner input.

For example:

check settings for surround & connection to speaker

Replace the tuner module.

Disconnect all speaker wires at the receiver and power the unit back up. If it stays on, reconnect speakers one by one and test each time. You will either self correct the problem, (usually a braid or two touching the other terminal) or you will find the speaker or wire with the short. Once you find the speaker that's causing the problem, disconnect the wire at the speaker and test again. Be careful and keep the wires separated so they do not touch. If it still cuts out, replace the wire. If it stays on, your wire is good and the problem is in the speaker. For good measure, reconnect the wire to the speaker again careful not to have braids touch each other and test. If it still cuts out, meter the speaker on resistance to check for a dead short which is caused by a bad voice coil or bad crossover. If your not proficient with a meter, take the speaker to any home audio shop and have them test it for you. Most will do this free of charge. If you disconnect all the speaker wires and the receiver still goes into protection, it will need to be serviced. Once serviced or replaced, be cautious when reconnecting speaker wires and test the same way. 80-90% of the "protection" cases that I service are do to a shorted wire or speaker. Hope this helps

There is not reason this would click and not turn on. If it just clicked, it would likely be caused by interference from another appliance, typically a fridge or freezer. The most likely reason is a relay in the internal power supply. It will need a Sony Service Centre. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4154/41545841M.pdf It isn't a recorded known issue.
