This Yamaha HTR-5890 surround sound receiver had two shorted power
transistors and a blew the main 10 amp fuse. I replaced those but the
receiver still shuts down after a few seconds. The way the circuit
boards
are laid out it's not very convenient to troubleshoot with the unit
powered
up and it only stays powered up for a few seconds. I called Yamaha
parts
and
they e-mailed me the service manual but the middle pages with the
schematic
are intentionally missing. For $18 I was told they would snail mail me
the
paper copy. But I need to fix the receiver for the weekend so any help
is
appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.

pushes,
and then interrogate the system control micro via more button pushes, and

will tell you why it thinks it's cutting out. Last however-many 'events'
are
stored in memory, as I recall. Sometimes it's helpful, sometimes not ...
