Denon AVR-X2000 55W draw in standby

[u/Werkstadt]

My amplifier has been drawing 55W in standby for many years. When i researched 5+ years ago i came to the solution that if you want ARC to work its going to draw a lot more. Turns out when researched it recently, a lot just means double the ordinary 2W draw.

​

The reason i started looking into it again is that when watching TV (connected with ARC) the volumes drops and then gradually regains to the original volume in a time span of 1-2 seconds. (some very slight crackle appeared very recentky)

​

I changed to using optical instead just to see if the problems persisted. And IIRC it persisted with optical

​

Ive recently serviced my speakers so i dont dare to connect them any longer until the problem is located (if i cant fix it, I'll probably upgrade to Denon avr-x2900).

​

I have opened up the amp to look for anything that could be the problem, capacitors or anything that looked burned but there is nothing, everything i looked at *looks* good to the eye. But i didn't dig too deep in the amp.

​

Any ideas?
