Sony STR D865 5.1 channel receiver blows the 6.3 Amp 125 Volts fuses that send power to the MN2488 & MP1620. Tested with an ohm meter and there is zero resistance between the collector and emitter on both transistor. MN2488 IS Q753 & MP1620 IS Q754. The two transistors are located to the right side of the main board if you are looking at it from where the power transformer is located. My experience has been, when you replace transistors of the output of just about any amp, there are still components that can damage the new parts. Some leaky parts some will eventually burn out the outputs. My question is, If you have experience with this exact model, and you have replaced drivers, and associated parts around the output and drivers, I no longer have my in-circuit Crickett Tester which also measures gain, etc. I do have a capacitor tester that is really good in-circuit tester which applies a 100 Khz signal to the cap and is very reliable. But if there are IC's that need to be looked at, I am not sure if they could have been the cause of the problem. The receiver wires and speakers have all been looked at and tested. Speakers & wires very well with another receiver of the same ohms. If anyone can offer some suggestions, I would gratefully appreciate it very much. Peterjb1

Most of the time in a sony receiver, when the output transistors are shorted and blowing the fuse, it doesn't take any more than replacing the outputs and fuse then you should be good to go. They don't usually require any resistors or other components to be replaced.

How to know Amp and volts Fuses of a volume board RECEIVER SET-DE

Power output divide it by 110

example 600 / 100 + 5.45

you need to replace it with 6 Amperes or the closest as long as it is not lower than 6

I am facing a problem with a SONY amplifier, model STR-DE185. On its screen is written the word ''PROTECT''. I have checked the transistors MN 2488 and MP1620 and are OK. Could anyone tell me what else...

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, the displayed message "PROTECT" is as it implies, the STR-DE185 has gone into auto-protect mode. The built-in auto diagnostics has sensed a fault and kicked in to prevent further damage to the Sony unit. In most instances, this is brought about by a faulty speaker (should be 8~16 ohms), loose/disconnected speaker wiring, strands of speaker wires inadvertently touching its opposite, overheated, ventilation holes covered, played with the volume level high for an extended period of time or a localized fault in the internal electronics of the amp circuitry.

Offhand, since DIY (do-it-yourself) repair is being done and assuming that you are comfortable working with electronic components & circuitry, use of a DVM/VOM, a soldering iron/station and safe practices with electrically powered devices, access to a Service Manual or at the very least, a schematic diagram would be a necessity.
  1. consider doing a RESET. Turn off the STR-DE185, press and hold the POWER button for 5 seconds or more or till "INITIAL" message is displayed. This would force the Sony to revert to factory defaults removing any glitches, errors in settings & configurations, presets, memories and user preferences;
  2. check if relays RY781 - to 783 are engaging;
  3. check pin 8 of IC901 (should be 5.6V);
  4. check protect switch Q784 to 786;
  5. check overload detectors Q705 & Q706;
  6. check that the MN2488 and MP1620 are not leaky

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

My STR-DE835 receiver will not stay powered on

Most likely bad output transistors and a couple of resistors. mp1620 and mn2488 are the part #s for the transistors. If you take it to a repair shop you are looking at spending $100-$130

What fuses does the sony str-de535 need

I beleive it is a 6.3amp gma. It will be printed on the circuit board next to the fuse holder and on the fuse itself. If it is open(blown) you probably will need to replace a set of the output transisters (mp1620 and mn2488). DO NOT use a slow-blow fuse this will cause more damage to your receiver.

When I power the reciever on all i hear is a click noise and it does nothing else.

Check the main fuse if it is open (blown) it will probably need output transistors MP1620 MN2488, if not it may need the main power transformer.

DO NOT use a slow-blow fuse this will cause more damage to the receiver!

Sony reciver blows the fuse when i turn it on

The fuse opens due to a short circuit in the receiver most often it is a set of output transistors. mp1620 mn2488 are common in sonys

Sony STR-D565 fuse continues to blow

You could have a shorted winding in the power transformer. The diodes in the power supply can be shorted. Filter capacitors can short and send power to ground which will blow the fuse.

What type of fuse does the sony stereo receiver model number STR-DE597 have.

The main and I think only fuse is a gma 6.3v fast blow.

DO NOT Use a slow blow fuse it will cause more damage to your receiver!!! If it opened once it will probably open again.

Odds are a set of output transistors are shorted (MP1620 and a MN2488)
