Greetings,

I’m having an issue with my 5 year-old Pioneer Elite A/V Receiver and I’m wondering if the educated, fine folks here might have a clue as to a possible fix after hearing the symptoms before I send it in for repair and pay what is most likely a couple hundred dollars.

After approximately 20 minutes after power up I will start to hear a buzzing out of all channels (7.2) but I can still hear the source sound. This went on for many weeks then it progressed to a whopwhopwhopwhop sound that overpowers any other sound from the source. If I turn the receiver off and wait about 10 minutes or so everything is clear again but the symptoms return and repeat.

No hardware changes have been made since I hooked up my home theater 5 to 6 years ago.

The buzzing and subsequent whopwhopwhop sound come regardless of source; TV, BD, PS4 etc.

Any help from somebody who had a similar experience would be greatly appreciated.
