FIXED! Well...It was the SVI-3205 amp module. William you were right sir! First time I've seen a no output condition without the actual outputs being shorted on these modules. The module (a SVI-3206) I ordered came in earlier then expected, installed it and all was good. You learn something new almost everday. Thanks to all who replied. As this unit is now mine (customer thought price of module and repair too expensive) I would like to have a service manual in my possesion, if anyone has one to send please do.
