    Not good, sounds like time to use your warranty

    Sounds like a fatal problem in the PSU.. either transformer or bridge rectifier.. usually caused by shorted main smoothers (in Onkyo kit anyways.. the big blues "made in Singapore" are suspect in these amps)
    As stated.. use your warranty.
