I have a Denon 1603. When I plug off my receiver from the wall socket for say a minute, reconnect and switch it on, the receiver forgets all its previous settings. This does not happen all the time though, but 6 out of 10 times I switch it on, it does. Also I have noticed that the distance units have changed over from metric (metres) to imperial (feet) and vice versa whenever this happens. I have tried resetting to factory settings, but the problem persists. Any clue what might be going on?
It is either the capacitor that is used to for memory or more likely the main CPU chip. If that is the problem you can just leave it plugged in and on or buy a new unit because that chip is expensive.

Does this unit have a battery that remembers programmed settings? Or is there something else terribly wrong? The part that puzzles me the most is the swapping between metres to feet each time the unit forgets its settings.
Thanks Michaelg for leaving a possible solution. Appreciate it. A new unit costs $600 in India. Do you know where I can find the chip's model number (maybe a url perhaps) so I can shop around for it? I tried googling with not much help.
