what do you mean by RELE?
I think @marexy means the ‘relay’.

@marexy: which caps do you consider suspicious?

Hi @franjo3000

Your problem certainly sounds exactly like the same problem I had. I bet you need to change IC1 and this will fix the problem. I used an IC1 chip from an old unit but earlier in the thread is some alternative you can buy. You need a solder blow gun to remove the old IC, be careful to not rip off the solder pads.

Good luck!

@Carljh Thanks for this info. I have a BeoLab 8000 that also has a problem when connected via RCA. It sometimes does switch on (mostly not), but only when I put the input volume high. Question
  • Could this also be caused by a bad IC1?

@KolfMAKER

Hard to say but the IC1 belong to the circuit that turn on the amplifier when the input signal reach a threshold level. It may solve your problem if you swap the IC1. Carl
