upon power-up, my sony str-d1015 receiver goes into protect mode. i
checked all speaker connections and all checked out ok. i followed the
advice of another member who had the same problem and found part #
stk350-230 to be at fault. i purchased IC stk350-230 from mcm and want
to install it but, i can't see how to release the old part. it seems
to have a
plastic hold-down (or shield) around it holding it in place. can
anyone help me? thanks. jim

Before replacing ANY chips on the hot running SONY's, ALL suspicious
solder connections around the output stage should be redone and then
the unit checked again before replacing any parts. SOmetimes is just
the solder connections.
