Hi. I have a circa 1999 Sony STR DE725 receiver. From the receiver amp, I have cables to an Infiniti subwoofer, then from the sub out to 2 Infiniti bookshelves. A few days ago, I was noticing poor volume out of my right bookshelf (after maximizing R balance). I switched all the cables at the level of the receiver and then my volume problem changed sides (to the left). This appeared to indicate a problem with the receiver.

During balance adjustment after the cable switch, I heard a 'pop' from inside my receiver which then powered down. At this point I knew I had a problem with my receiver, and after popping the top, saw that I had two blown fuses (8A, 125V). There are no frayed wires on my cables.

I replaced the fuses with 8A, 125V replicas, but now, when I plug in just the receiver (no speaker connection), I get

flashing on the screen after about 10 seconds of plug in time.

At this point, I only use the DVD channel on the receiver for input from my laptop and mixer. I have a feeling my receiver amp is screwed, given that I'm in Protection mode without even plugging in the speakers!

Is there any hope for this receiver? Thanks for any help.
