There seems to be a problem with the tone controls, specifically 'high cut', 'low cut' &

at 0 volume, a loud pop is heard and of the spkr relay kicks off momentarily. There must be
a coupling cap somewhere that's not surpressing the transition noise that directly affects
the mains output. Can someone shed some light on this. All other controls operate normally,
no crackling of the volume pot or scratchy bass & treble controls. I'm stumped!

Steve,

In older Pioneer receivers I've seen lots of leaky low value Sanyo electrolytic caps, usually 2.2 uf or lower, and 25 volt. I'd change them in the tone circuits, and at the input to the power amp, if they are present. These caps are usually a light blue-gray in color, and have a odd looking seal at the bottom, not the typical rubber, but sort of like a shiny black goo that dries hard.

Remember, it could be DC coming in before the switches, or DC getting out after them.
