RE: Annoying whistling tone on Denon AVR-550SD digital HT receiver

The whistling noise is coming from the speakers, not within the casing of the amp, so it's getting mixed in with the audio signal at some point. I had a look inside for any obviously bulging or leaking caps, and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Judging by the fact that the display has an impact on the whistling tone, is it perhaps worth reflowing the display pins, or checking any caps near the display?

The only caps of concern would be the electrolytics and they don't always look bad. The only way to be sure is to remove and measure them.
Try disconnecting the cable(s) to the display and see if the noise still persists.
If the volume control is a pot I would clean it with contact cleaner.
