Hello, i have a problem with a 3801 denon receiver, ..I bought this
receiver from a guy on the internet, said to be in exellent shape,
when it arrived, i plugged it in and it will not do anything, no
display, no standby light, no click when you hit power switch
nothing. I have checked all 7 fuses on the receiver with an ohm
meter, they are all ok. checked voltage where power cord plugs into
board, shows 120 volts, if you unplug receiver and checked switched
outlet on back of receiver, the outles show open with ohm meter,
unplug yellow and white wire on transformer to board and now
switched outlets are no longer reading open....does this sound like
a power transformer, any way to test?

OK, tried to send you the manual - it bounced because it was too
big. I'l split it and send it in 2 parts.

man i really appreciate it...it looks like i have a bad relay, im
gonna get on the phone and see if i can find parts

Actually had to split it into about 6 parts. What a pain.These PDF split
programs could be better designed. One has to experiment with page ranges,
etc to get an acceptable size. Could be done better with a graphical
interface.

I really doubt you have a bad relay, more likely a circuit board crack.

Agreed
