Topic: Sony STR-DA3000ES conundrum

[Kyle]

I purchase a 3000es from onecall.com and have had to replace it three times (currently on third receiver). I am having problems with excessive hiss through the speakers. This is a well documented problem with the ES digital receivers - it was supposedly corrected in the "A" revision (which I have) but there are many 'bad' ones out there. My question is this - I love the sound of this reciever but am really aggrivated with the situation. onecall.com has been great - no problems there - but I think they are getting tired of sending me new receivers. Should I get Sony to fix this prob (5 yrs parts/labor) or should I get out all together? Consensus.....

thanks...

same problem I had, and I had it on two receivers before I sent it to Sony.  I had them give me a repair auth number and sent it to their repair facility in PA and had it back 10 days after I sent it...6 months later and no problems since they fixed it...
