On the 31st Jan the Mail issued an ad with the following:
Pioneer has recently discovered that some VSX-839 and VSX-859 RDS sold from November 2000 may be affected by a quality problem. The possible failure of an internal component could result in thse A Recievers switching themselves off under certaian conditions.
In addition there is a possibility that some componets on the circiut board might break down causing smoke to appear from within the unit. However, extensive tests conducted by Pioneer have confirmed that this does NOT result in fire.
They will do a free repair. Immidiately disconnect the amp from the mains and contact Pioneer AV Hotline 0800 0850202 (9.00am to 5.00pm Mon-Fri)
Pioneer wishes to comfirm that NO other Pioneer models are affected.
