stereo light

What amp/receiver/tuner are we talking about?

SONY STR 7065

Stereo Receiver

Does that happen even when you tune in a really strong station? 

Yes,

Thanks

When in doubt, read the manual...

What's a front end?

Does the same thing happen when you play an 8-track tape?

@soix Youre a lot of help.  Rude!

Heh heh. Aw lighten up there Petey.

Was this Sony bought new or used?

Used,

I thought this forum was set up for an exchange of technical questions and ideas, not a bunch of smart ass, immature snarky comments.

It’s set up for both. 

I asked to see if maybe the led had been replaced. LED over voltage sometimes cause it to be bright then dim. Good luck!

Questions cannot possibly be answered unless submitted in a technical, detailed way. All else is the front end of comedy.

@gsranch -

If the light never goes out, even when you are not using the tuner section (ie the turntable) there may be something wrong. But if you can’t hear anything different, then I would not worry about it.  Does the manual say anything helpful and Google really is your friend.

All the best.

Thanks, the light does go out whenever I switch to another selection (TT, AUX ETC.).  It's not annoying or effecting operation.  I just thought if there was a pot to adjust in the tuner section I would brighten it up a little.  The manual does not mention this that I could find.  Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.

Replace bulb?
