I had purchased (2) Sony DG710 receivers. One had the power supply board broken into pieces and the other had a broken chasis. I swapped the broken power supply out and got the unit working. I noticed the other night when playing a movie a little louder than I normally do that the sound would cut out on loud noises and the display on the receiver display would dim at the same time. Obvioulsy I still have some sort of power issue. I know this is a shot in the dark but any ideas as to what to check? I still have the boards from the other unit so I could just start swapping them out.
Thanks
Dan

You could try to increase the output cap size so it has more back up reserve power, kinda how those car thumping kids do for there cars so the subs dont shut off the lights when there blasting out windows in the neighborhood. Ok I was venting a bit Very Happy

We built a custom speaker box once for the back of a Ford Bronco II, it was a third order quasi something or other that used 3 chambers and 3 ports. We cranked it up and just about hit the brown note Shocked

it was great! Those were pre internet days so we would experiment, talk to poor engineering students that couldn't afford to build one themselves but were willing to do the math and come up with a concept. We'd test it. It we liked it we'd make a few. It was a fun time.
