REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

DENON AVR-1909 - AVR-789 - AVC-1909

Initializing AV SURROUND RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER
AV SURROUND RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER initialization should be performed when the µcom, peripheral parts of µcom, and Digital P.W.B. are replaced.
1. Switch off the unit.
2. With the "INPUTMODE" and "SPEAKERS" buttons pressed, press the "ON/OFF" button to turn the power on.
3. Check that the entire display is flashing with an interval of about 1 second, and release your fingers from the 2 buttons and the microprocessor will be initialized.
Note: If step 3 does not work, start over from step 1.
# All user settings will be lost and this factory setting will be recovered when this initialization mode.
So make sure to m+emorize your setting for restoring after the initialization.
JIG to use for servicing
When you repair the printing board, you can use the following
JIG (Extension cable kit). Please order to Denon Official Service Distributor in your region if necessary.
00D SPK- 561 EXTENSION UNIT KIT : 1 Set
00D SPK- 562 9120 CONN. JOINT KIT : 1 Set
When you update the firmware, you can use the following
JIG (RS232C to internal connector conversion adapter with
8P cable kit ). Please order to Denon Official Service Distributor in your region if necessary.
Check mode for Micom/DSP version
Micom/DSP Version Display Mode
1. Operation specifications

PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING ERRORS
Displaying the protection history
1. Operation specifications
ERROR MODE(displaying the protection history)
When started up, the error information is displayed.
Starting up:
With the "MENU" and "MULTEQ" buttons pressed, press the "ON/OFF" button to turn the power on. The error (protection history display) mode is set. Now, press the "STATUS" button to turn on the FL display.
2. About the display on the FL display
When the "STATUS" button is pressed after setting the error (protection history display) mode, a history like the one shown below is displayed, depending on the conditions.
(1) Normally (when there has been no protection incident
(2) For ASO/DC (when the last protection incident was ASO or DC protection)
(3) For THERMAL (when the last protection incident was THERMALprotection)
When the "STATUS" button is pressed again after the above protection history is displayed, the normal display reappears.
3. Clearing the protection history
There are two ways to clear the protection history, as described below.
(1) Start up the error (protection display) mode, display the error, then press and hold in the "ENTER" button for 3 seconds.

Warning indication by the STANDBY LED
If the power is turned off when a protection incident has been detected, the STANDBY LED (red) flashes as follows as warning according to the conditions in which the protection incident occurred.
(1) ASO/DC PROTECTION : Flashes in cycles of 0.5 seconds (0.25 seconds lit, 0.25 seconds off)
(2) THERMAL PROTECTION : Flashes in cycles of 2 seconds (1 second lit, 1 second off)
Idling Current
Required measurement equipment: DC Voltmeter
1. Preparation
(1) Avoid direct blow from an air conditioner or an electric fan, and adjust the unit at normal room temperature 15 °C > 30 °C (59 °F > 86 °F).
(2) Presetting
# POWER (Power source switch) OFF
# SPEAKER (Speaker terminal) No load (Do not connect speaker, dummy resistor, etc.)
2. Adjustment
(1) Remove top cover and set VR101 FL, FR, C, SL, SR, on Main Amp. Unit, VR401, VR402 on 2ch- Amp. Unit at fully counterclockwise position.
(2) Connect DC Voltmeter to test points (FRONT-Lch: TP101, FRONT-Rch: TP105, CENTER ch: TP103, SURROUND-Lch: TP102, SURROUND-Rch: TP104, SURROUND-BACK Lch: TP401, SURROUND-BACK Rch: TP402).
