I think you should resolder the board. When **** like this happens
in one channel and then the other independently it is almost not
going to be the power supply, which is usually the first logical
guess. But in this case with both channels intermittent I think it
has bad connections.

They may look good, especially with lead free solder, but the reason
that you experience this the way you described could be due to
thermal issues.

Hmmm, but isn't that receiver from the late 80's, early 90's?

Not sure the "lead free solder" problems would apply.

The date on the service manual is 1992 and the solder looks very shiny and
easy to work with. I would say that it is not lead-free solder.

Thanks for your reply.
