Thanks Damon, The service guide has not arrived yet, the customer is ordering it. Apparently the mini fuse (4A/125 V standard) had been replaced on a service call a month earlier by another tech according to the customer. Anyway, as soon as I peruse the schematic I can determine the circuitry that fuse(FU106) protects. Possibly a SLOBLO type may be in order. I wonder if there is an on-going issue at Pioneer for this model, my gut feeling is there's some type of regulator problem. Again, much thanks for your input!

Watch the fuse when you turn it on, if it bends during turn-on, it most likely needs a time delay fuse. Any idea what this fuse protects??
