Sony has recently restated to all their authorized servicers that they are
not to be distributing any service manuals or bulletins, etc with reference

situation, and those here on the group know that in the past I've tried to
help out. I can't send you any service literature, but I do think it's safe
to say the amp module itself is bad. You can order it through Andrews
Electronics - though the price may well be prohibitive.

This will doom the Sony to bad reputation for awhile and their price
is still unreasonable. Sony need to loosen up and deal with
non-authorized service shops as well, not just for Sony's.

Because of this we HAVE to bump up the typical estimate higher by 20%
to 30% even 40% if a fly is involved. This scares customers which is
last thing we wanted. Oh, we're NOT a Sony shop.
