Not true at all. We fix these sets with "generic" ICs all the time. I have
compared several "originals" from JVC with the generic ones and found no
differences at all in operating parameters including temperature. You have
to be very thorough in troubleshooting these power supplies, but there is
not a problem with using generic STR-F6626 ICs from a reputable supplier.

First, STR-F6626 must be OEM.

change.
Thanx in advance
