Re: sony STR-AV310

What caught my eye was 63Strat's post: "My STR-AV970X used to cycle on/off and then slowly turn its volume knob all the way up to ten slowly as if a ghost was doing it". (If your last setting was on a radio station, my 1070 would do it in the middle of the night and scare the crap out of me!)

When I recieved this used 970, the first thing I did was open it and tighten all the grounds, already knowing that issue from my previous 1070. I'll give that another shot, try the polish up or hard wire method.

I'd love to be able...

Re: sony STR-AV310

What seems to be the fix on these? My first unit was a AV1070. It had the "ghost" turning it on and cranking up the volume. A local repair shop did fix that, they said there was a "factory bullitin" on some loose grounds. It eventually did the crash and fail on protect mode a few years later. So I got a used AV970 which worked fine for years, but now it's started doing the "ghost thing". It also sometimes fails to power off the switched 110v outlet.
