Hi Ken: I had the same model, and the same problem a few months ago. The customer was in a hurry so I never was able to resolve the problem. I installed the SKUP9102......with no change in the symptom. It makes me wonder if the SK version of the SBX1637 is any good any more? The next time that I need one I'm going with the Sony Original ! If I were you I'd try another chip before going any further.

I originally thought it was the typical Sony sound module (SBX1637) bad. I replaced that a little over three years ago, but put a new one in. No change. It uses a TA8200AH audio output. I have audio in and out both channels and at the speakers, but only the slightest sound FROM the speakers. I subbed the speakers with no improvement. The 470 ufd coupling caps are good. Tried a new TA8200. No change. Checked the internal/external speakers switch. There is audio present at the audio out jacks. The output stage seems to be working, because the signal is greater on the output than the input. The darn thing SHOULD work, but it doesn't! I have 27v B+, 5V on the mute, and about 11V on each output pin. No print, but I think that is about normal. If you have a scan of the output stage or the voltages on IC610 (LA7800AH), it would sure help. Winstips lists QN14 and QA60 as possible causes for no audio, but they check good and besides I do have audio present at both inputs and outputs. Had enough fun for today.
