Hello everyone!
This is my first post to AK. I've been having a problem with my receiver for years and decided that it's time to consult the oracle. I have a Yamaha Rx-500U that I bought new, and for quite a while the tuner cuts in and out. It will be playing fine, then it just goes to static with no display on the front panel. It used to be I could give it a smack and it would play again, and it seems to be more common in the more humid months. I don't often listen to the radio, so it never bothered me that much, but then again- before the Internet with tremendous resources such as AK, you either got a new unit or took it to be repaired.
Has anyone ever experienced this type of problem and if so what did you do to repair it. It seems like there is a poor connection (if the tuner is a separate pcb,) or a cold solder joint, or a crack- or the list is endless.
Thanks, any suggestions would be welcome.
Dave
