(Note: this receiver was in perfect working order before it was put in storage. With the exception of summer heat and winter cold it's pretty much just been in my garage in a box for about 3 years).
Long story short I dug this thing out of storage (dry, but not climate controlled) and figured I'd repurpose it. When I turn it on (nothing connected) it shows the last state it was in (DVD/LD) then then flashes overload a few time then turn off. I tried hooking up the speakers that were originally used with it (Complete 5.1 JBL Northridge set + two E50's for the surround back) but didn't really change anything even with messing with the volume attenuation the best I could.
The speakers are currently in use with another receiver and just wanted to steal the two E50's for my computer (a little big for computer speakers but hey why not lol). Originally I was going to replace all the AC caps and any that were poofed up. I'm not sure I want to go through the trouble now. I've already inspected it quite a bit for any corrosion, bug droppings, mice and all that stuff. The insides still look clean and no obvious signs of damage (or poofed caps).
I've already did a bit of searching of the web and there is no one answer i've been able to find common to this error message. It's mostly likely a faulty amplifier or possibly the capacitors just need to be completely replaced (not worth the time and effort unless I know if will fix the problem). I could probably take it apart and probe around for something obvious with a DMM to start with but that's more of a weekend project right now.
Basically i'm shooting in the dark to to see if anyone with direct experience or knowledge of the VSX line can help me rule out some stuff that would not be related inside (like a certain card or area of the circuitry inside).
