Artie	Re: Pioneer VSX-5000 Receiver Hey Rob; If you can find a way to get it in, the absolute best "stuff" to use is made by a company called Caig Labs. (www.caig.com) You want the product called Deoxit Power Booster. (Dumb name - great product.) Tonto; when you have a problem like that, there's really only one good way to find it. You'll need to take the unit apart at least as far as is necessary to be able to examine the main circuit board closely. With a magnifying glass, look over all the soldereing connections. You'll eventually find one,(or more), that appear to have a small "circle" around the solder pad. Remake those solder connections. They aren't as hard to spot as it sounds. In fact, if your eyes are younger than mine, you may be able to do it with the naked eye. Just make sure the board is lit well.
