This unit has sone bypass relays for bypassing signal when the unit is off (power off is bypass on the DEP-5). Apparently the bypass relays corrode and will stop opening when powered on. They only really prevent the unit from popping when being on and aren't necesarry. Some people have reported bypassing them with a jumper wire. I'm just wondering how I would go about bypassing them. I've asked a couple people on other forums and the only real response I get is "you just remove the relays and bypass them with a wire"....I mean I understand the concept but HOW haha.
Here's what i've been told by a fella who's done it-
"A relay is a electrical controlled switch, so all you have to do is remove the relays en hardwire the contacts needed in operation possition.
De-soldering the relays can be a difficult thing to do for some of us , so alternative you can ignore those relays, cut some traces and hardwire the relay contacts"
