The same thing occurs with my Drake R8B.

available at a cost of $5.13." -- Bill Frost, Drake.

I've not tried this myself.

Thanks for the information. If it came from Bill Frost, it's gospel.

However, I'm not going to open the receiver up just to check the part
number, as the low-volume audio output that remains when the volume
control is in the Min position is a non-issue for me. If I want
absolute silence, the Power switch is able to effect that quite
nicely.
