REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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 AVR-1706 - AVR-686 - AVR-1506 -AVR-486


Initializing AV SURROUND RECEIVER
AV SURROUND RECEIVER initialization should be performed when the µcom, peripheral parts of µcom, and Digital P.W.B. are replaced.
1. Switch off the unit.
2. Hold the following SPEAKERS-A button and SPEAKERS-B button, and switch on the unit.

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.
Video Section (For AVR-1706/686 U.S.A., Canada)
Component Video Level Adjustment

Required measurement equipment etc.: Oscilloscope, DVD VIDEO PLAYER (ex: DVD-1500)
Test disc: DVD T-S01
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) Playback the color-bar 75% of the Test Disc (Title 12) using the DVD Video Player, and check that Y and C levels of the S terminal output are within the specified output levels.
If they are out of the specified levels, adjust with the variable resister inside of the unit.
(3) Presetting
# POWER (Power source switch) OFF
# SPEAKER (Speaker terminal) No load
(Do not connect speaker, dummy resistor, etc.)
# DVD (Video terminal) No input
2. Adjustment
(1) Remove top cover and set VR601, VR602, VR603, on CS VIDEO2 Unit at fully counterclockwise ( ).
(2) Connect a pin-plug terminated with 75-ohms to Y (Cb, Cr) of the Component Video Monitor Output, and hook up the Oscilloscope’s probe to both ends of the pin-plug.
(3) Connect S terminal output of the DVD Player with the DVD input terminal of the Receiver.
(4) Connect power cord to AC Line, and turn power switch
"ON".
(5) Presetting.
# FUNCTION: DVD
# Playback the color-bar 75% of the Test Disc (Title 12)
(6) Turn VR601 clockwise ( ) to adjust the COMPONENT Video Y voltage (except H. Sync) to 714 ± 50 mVp-p.
(7) Adjust the Variable Resistors of Cr: VR602 and Cb: VR603 in the same way. Cb,Cr: 486 ± 50 mVp-p. (U.S.A. & Canada model)
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).
