Probably the output transistors unless something in the power supply has let go.
I just had a Mac buddy give me a Pioneer high end receiver that's about 8 years old for the cost of shipping. Looks like one of the hybrid devices that serves as an amplifier is toast. $12/each, and three are used in the receiver (front/rear/center). I haven't decided if I want to invest the $36 to fix it yet...
