this set uses the str53041 SMP. it was shorted along with a few bad resistors, and bad electro. After replacing the parts the set plays great. only problem is it has a strange noise when I turn the set off. no noise while playing but raspy sound from the SMP transformer when in standby. cant find any bad caps. anyone hear this before?
