An 80s vintage SONY AV amplifier calllls itself as a " 300 Watt
Amplifier ". It has a video in and out, a DRLC in and out
and 6 speaker channels. I have no manual.

1. Why do you want to know that?
2. Why do you think we know?
3. Why don't you tell us the stinkin' model number?
4. Why are you such... ah forget it.

OK, you bought it from someone you don't know in a place you forgot at
a bargain price and want it to sell it to your favourite second-hand
person and tell him about it's features. Is that it?

Per.

Why won't you tell us the model number?

"300 watts" is marketing-talk. It means almost nothing.

Assuming a direct short from the AC plug to the speaker jack,
the maximum would be 1800 watts (15 amps at 120 VAC).
