Hi,
Not actually an amplifier problem but I suspect it might apply to Cambridge Amplifiers.
I have a Cambridge Azur 640H music server (actually got a few because I like playing/repairing them🙂). One of them has started to develop a problem with the remote control - it will work fine but after a while will stop working. If I power off and leave for a while the remote will work again. It is not the remote because I have a couple of them and get the same problem with both remotes, and if I connect up a spare 640H the remotes work fine however long it's switched on.
Any clues where I should start looking - is it likely to be an internal component problem or software?
Thanks
Alchad

First thing I would do is dangle a scope on the output of the IR receiver and see if that fails when the fault appears. I would doubt anything software related based on what you say.
These things are unspeakable s h i t, I still don't understand why they didn't just install a silent PC power supply instead of trying to do something homemade like "Cambridge".
Everything that is Cambridge from the mid-2000s until now and which works cold but not hot is suspect in terms of power supply or cold soldering.
