I have a Pioneer VSX-1325-K receiver I bought from Futureshop 4 years or so ago. From what I can tell it is very similar to the VSX-33.
I was listening to music with a 7.1 speaker setup at extremely high volume levels for an extended period of time. The receiver got incredibly hot and had the burning electronics smell and started to shut down and restart itself at a lower sound level. This happened a few times and instead of turning it down I kept it going at the same level. Being a dummy I had my center channel speaker sitting directly on top of the receiver.
It finally shut down and won't come back on anymore. When I press the power/standby button the relay clicks on/off quickly once and the blue light in the center of the power/standby button comes on and goes off instantly. The unit will just not power up.
I think that the power supply transformer is burned out. Is there a way to test the supply? The case has been opened, I know what I am doing when handling most electronics. There is a momentary 120V sent to the white/red wires leading to the transformer from the 120V power input board when the power/standby button is pressed. There is no voltage at any of the contacts on the secondary voltage side of the transformer as far as I can tell. I don't know if the control board isn't letting the transformer power up or the transformer gets the signal but is burned out.
What is the most common component to fail when a unit is run extremely hot and turned up? The only place in town that will repair electronics is a joke. Months of wait time and the guy is a jerk.
