Yes, i've put an ohm meter and volt meter on all perspective areas, and they check out ok. Everything is disconnected from the rcvr. But as soon as I connect the audio out from a vcr to the input, you can barely hear the sound with volume at maximum level. There are no speakers connected at this point as well. I'm using the headphone output to computer speakers in my work area. Still the second relay switch isn't flipping on, the Pre-On light remains blinking.
