Where are the fuses for a sony str-de325 - Sony STR-DE325 Receiver

Set your Dolby effect

Does it click at all when you press power? Sounds like the power transformer may be bad. There is a thermal fuse inside of the transformer that can go open and cause a problem like that.

You could take it to a tech and let him figure it out or you could do some forensics, looking for burnt components and still not finding it/them or a root cause, and THEN take it to a tech and let him figure it out.

I just got mine to work with the STR-DE325. I programmed my Dish receiver remote following the reference in the back of the Dish receiver manual. I missed the comment at the beginning of the receiver codes at first which stated to enter a 2 before setting a tuner/amplifier code on aux. I then used the first code listed which was 683 and it works. So it was hold aux on the remote, wait until the aux was enabled by blinking, enter 2, enter 683 for the Dish remote and enter pound. E.

Disconnect all speakers and see if that helps. Shorted speakers or wiring will cause this. If it still does it a trip to a hands-on tech is called for.

Must have a bad remote control then . Did something spill onto the remote near the power on button? Short of getting a new remote you could try poping thr remote control apart and cleaning it out with a mild detergent. Larry's Electronics

Check that the tape monitor (or tape 2) is not on. To turn it off press the tape 2/tape monitor button. Turn the volume down first!

Try disconnecting all of your speakers, and then turn on you unit. If you have a defective speaker, or a short in your wires, your unit will go into protect mode. If your unit seems ok with the speakers disconnected, then turn unit off, hook up one of the speaker leads and try it. This way you can isolate the problem.......

Good Luck,

Hold in power button until unit "clicks." Takes about 20 seconds.

Hello, Drewske! I have ONE question: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISCONNECT ALL OF THE SPEAKERS? DOES it turn on? Drew, IF it turns-on with no speakers attached, then 1) you have a problem with one or more of your speakers [UNLIKELY] or 2) you have a short in one (or more) of the speaker wires (LIKELY). Try this first, then let us know what happens.
