This is my own receiver. For the past couple of months I've started to noti ce that the time it was taking for the protection relay to activate was len gthening from around three seconds to a bit longer. Then recently the time has lengthened again only this time it seems exponentially. Yesterday after switching on the receiver I counted 82 seconds before the relay tripped an d I got sound out. The sound was fine when I did.
I need to pull this out of the entertainment center to check it over so it will be a few days before I actually get to this but I wanted to run this by the group first for ideas. I'm thinking perhaps dried up cap or changed resistor somewhere but that's just a guess. I know that at least part of wh at this circuit does is look for DC on the output but I don't really unders tand exactly how that works and what that circuit is or how it's looking at that so if someone could please explain it to me I would be very grateful. Thanks. Lenny.
