JVC DR MV1B , DVD/VCR recorder

Not my usual area but willing to at least look at it despite inglorious
reputation googling about.
Owner was prepared to live with having to press on/off ten times from cold
before it would settle into on/standby but now there is a sound problem.
After 2 days powered up all audio functions gradually fail to white noise,
ie play anything , record anything VCR or DVD or off-air.
I've located 2 SIL, LA.... (closely surrounded in tiny lytics so cannot
read) in area of board marked Audio In/Out , any suggestions. ?
I get the impression it was on left and right so trace power line back to ps
and selectively heat to induce problem.?
