I turn my receiver on then it says "powering off" right away everytime i turn it off. I hope you can help. thanks

Looks like a rebadged Pioneer if it is, one of the output channels has probably been damaged and it shuts down to protect the rest of the system. Time for service at your local HiFi dealer.

How do i get my optimus sta-3180 receiver out of stuck in standby mode

I found the plastic button plunger on the front becomes too short to actuate the tiny on/off switch inside. Remove the cover and insert a piece or two of thickish paper (like file-folder thickness) between the plastic plunger and the switch. Let it hang back over the circuit board so it will stay in place.

I recently bought a optimus stav 3350 reciever and the left side channels on both a and b speakers has a static distorting sound coming from it used more then one set of speakers to check, I inspected it and there are 3 transistors I believe they are small black box looking things that are round with one flat side that has dark burn marks around them on the board the are in, could that be the problem and what else could cause this? Thank you for any advice you can give

It is possible that the solder connections on those transistors are bad and need to be re-soldered. This is common with components that get hot. I would also check any capacitors that are close to them since heat can dry out the capacitors. Other than that, it could be a number of other things.

My RADIO SHACK Optimus STA-3180 stereo receiver has lost the output to one of the speaker channels on both the "A" and "B" circuits. Can't find any fuses or wiring diagrams. Any thoughts?

You have a bad amplifier in receiver. Headphones work? If so you know the issue is after that area in the schematic.

Power to Amp but no lights and does not switch on

(1)When the unit is switched on the relay clicks in,but no sign of life, and then five seconds later the second relay clicks on/off don't know which. This symptom is DC outputted to speaker terminals. Check any DC at power amp stage output.(2)Must have blown up.
Positive. If Caps blew, your amp shutted itself down within 5 seconds due to + & - power supply creating an unbalanced +B & - B voltage not allowing your amp to turn on.

My Optimus STA 3760 Receiver will not play any sound on tape monitor, and will only play the right channel on the phono setting. What could be wrong with it/ how do I fix it?

Chemically clean all of your input selector switches and see what happens. If still have issue then one of your amps is in need of repair.

No sound on left channel on home stereo optimus sta-795 will changing fuse out restore sound

Not likely! Suggest swapping input connection, red RCA connector to white and white to red and see if problem swaps speakers. If still left channel bad swap speakers left to right see if problem follows speaker. Check balance adjustment and confirm that it is set to the middle! Check all other inputs and confirm always no left output. The goal is to confirm that the left channel is defective! The service manual is MS3102101 would normally be available from Radio Shack. Check for defective capacitors or failed solder joints on the PC board. These units are repairable even by DIY however replacement recievers are relatively inexpensive. Hope this helps? 26364739-n5uv4pl0imrm51spsuhjadcc-3-0.jpg 26364739-n5uv4pl0imrm51spsuhjadcc-3-2.jpg

We have a Optimus STAV-3770 that is stuck on 'Muting'. Have tried everything we can think of to no avail. Even purchased a new remote.Is there a solution.

Switch off the mains supply before connecting/disconnecting any cables. Disconnect all the speaker cables and switch on. If the fault clears carefully check the speaker wiring for shorts before reconnecting. If the fault is not in the speaker wiring or speakers the amplifier will need expert attention. Faulty speaker wiring can easily damage solid state amplifiers.
