Hmmm. Well, I will definitely try the hair dryer thing after I speak with them. About the hum, does yours hum Eric? I just never heard it before. Here is another wrinkle: I also heard a hum when I got close to the center speaker while I was running tests. Same hum was not present with the left/right, and I never heard it before the faults started happening. I didn't get to test if I hear the hum using a different speaker. I disconnected the amp for fear of damaging a speaker or AVR with the trips.
