My Denon DCP-150 generates a distorted sound from the line-out.

Observations:
1) The distortion is from the line-out but not from the headphone out
2) The line-out is clean (was treated with contact enhancer)
3) The distortion is high at the beginning of playing (mainly right channel) but gradually disappear after ten minutes.
4) The distortion only appears when the player has been switched off for more than a day.
Do you think that the problem is related to the line-out capacitors?

I attached some DCP-150 internal pictures and I would greatly appreciate if someone can provide me hints where the capacitors are located.

Thanks

Without seeing the schematics I would say in photo 4 that the two caps near the headphone jack(green one) are the headphone coupling caps. Caps are cheap enough that if you have a couple bucks you could replace the other two by the digital out and line out. It couldn't hurt and it's worth a shot. More specifically the two caps behind the line out(red jack).
