Greetings, I have a Sony kv-27exr15 that blows an STR-S6301 every couple of years. Does this device perform any linear functions or is it just a switch? If it is only switching power I would like to bypass it till I am re-employed and can buy another sack of these ICs. I misplaced them and if I ever get any more I am going to leave the sack inside the TV. Thanx, john ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Remove: Send a blank email to techassist-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with remove as subject.
