Op amp replacements.

What to replace to eliminate this amp hiss.
I have no idea what I'm doing or what I need to replace to eliminate the amp hiss on my sony str-de135, the hiss gets louder as the volume is turned up even with no signal, I read that it should be the op amps I have identified these chips but am not sure which to replace to eliminate the hiss or what to replace them with.

5218A

2103D

LC78212

I don't know what chip does what, though I do know how to solder, any help?
I need a chip that will at least replicate these when they were new without the hiss.

Have a link to a schematic? It would help a lot, we could see where these are in the signal path, and what else is there.

More info needed...

Does it hiss on all inputs ? I suspect that any hiss is going to be "normal" for this type of product as there is so much signal processing going on.

Full free manual,

I see the SNR is quoted as only 78db... not much better than a cassette deck with Dolby C.
By all means play with the opamps but it's not going to make it quieter.

Didn't notice that before, xD

Kind of disappointing) oh well Guess I'll use my t- amp to drive them and no more rear channel.
