Although this tread is quite old, this is still a valuable tip.
Replacement of C913 made my CR305-TX resurrect !
But I have another issue.
I can set a wakeup-timer with the remote, but the device does not turn on on the given time. I have triple checked the settings (weekday, weekend etc.). The timer is displayed on the LCD. But the device just sits in standby and does not wakeup.
I know think of finding another capacitor or similar but i will need your help.
Can some of you identify a capacitor that could be the one responsible for timed wakeup ?
Any help/hints highly appreciated.

Another reply to this old, but obviously still relevant, thread:
Thanks for the C913 replacement suggestion - it resurrected my unit, too! For years it had been forgetting radio presets. Recently it would often power off when I tried to play a CD. Two months since replacing the cap, and performance has been flawless.
Info for others:
Unrelated: I pulled the Onkyo speakers out of storage after a decade, as I had been using other speakers (Radio Shack Minimus 7) with the head unit. The Onkyo speakers had NO treble. I pulled and tested the tweeters - they work, but their output is so low these speakers sound awful, and I don't remember them being like this. Stiffened surround? Bad crossover components? Dunno, but I'm back to using my 40 year old Minimus 7s...

Info for others:
- I used 100uF 50V, because it's what I had. So far, no issues.
- This cap is located along the top edge of the power board and is easily accessible to a soldering iron - no need to remove the board.
- You may need to chisel some adhesive away to find the "C913" reference designator (i.e. the text on the pc board).
