Have same problem with Symphonic SSC199, except it works OK first time plugged in after replacing zener. Zener shorts the next time it is plugged in. The zener is an overvoltage protector on the 25 volt line. Funai T/A says the problem is defective electrolytics, not testable, and they just change caps until the problem is gone. Seems wierd to me that unit will work just fine indefinitely with a bad cap. Would really like to know the source of the problem as I also have a Sylvania 6513DA with the 33 volt zener shorted and am waiting for a new supply of zeners.
