I had one of these "AV Surround Receiver" given to me. The thing has several 100 Watt amps plus lots of "bells and whistles" supposed to hook everything to everything else!

It powers up, but the "MODE" function doesn't do anything, making it useless.

I am considering stripping it down to just a plain old stereo amp, manually controlled, 100 Watts per channel, to operate with an external preamp.

If anyone has tried this, I would appreciate comments or suggestions.

Did you try resetting the receiver?
While powered off, hold in A/D + FP +Dimmer (all three buttons)
Then press the main power switch till it powers up
