I recently got a used a-35r from ebay and everything works fine except for the volume knob. Or maybe the motor to it. I finally got some batteries to put in the remote and when I try to adjust the volume with the remote the motor makes noise but the knob doesnt physically turn. I can manually turn the knob and that works fine however. Anyone know what the problem might be?

thx

Ouch... I'd guess that the motor is weak and on its way toward death. Annoying, but at least it doesn't affect sound quality.

ugh, im guessing sourcing the motor and replacing it isntgoing to be an easy issue?

Yeah, probably not worth replacing unless you can do it yourself. Pioneer doesn't list the part on their list here.

If you buy the service manual, it will include a part number for the motorized pot, then presumably you can order it from a Pioneer authorized repair place.

Just as a check, make sure that the "amp mode" button is not toggled to "on." That prevents the remote from working.

For $5.00 you can get the PDF of the service manual here.
Get the part number and order it from Pioneer or any authorized service center....
