Have the same problem here with same model. Needs new selector switch which is no longer available from Denon. An aftermarket non remote switch can be installed for about $175.00. I found by just leaving it on 24/7 solved the problem for the most part and stopped using the remote.
Later replaced with a Denon PMA 757, older unit better build quality and no gremlins. No remote though. My advice if need remote find a Denon PMA 2000r.
