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.

PIONEER VSX-821-K - VSX-921-K - VSX-521-K - AUDIO/VIDEO MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVER - SERVICE MODE & DETAILS


DISPLAY MODE FOR NUMBERS OF PROTECTION DETECTION
The numbers of detection for various protection processes are displayed.
TO ENTER & EXIT
  • During Standby mode, simultaneously press and hold the [PRESET –] and [STANDBY/ON] keys for 2 seconds to enter this mode.
  • The display will return to the normal indication when no key operation is performed for 5 seconds.
BASIC OPERATIONS
#1 "5 (-> normal)" denotes that the display will return to the normal indication when no key operation is performed  for 5 seconds.
#2 Variable range: 0 to 255.
  • The above-mentioned Display mode is available only when the product operates properly.
  • If any protection function is activated while the product is in use, the product cannot be turned ON and enter the above Display mode. In such a case, cancel the protection function, referring to “3.4 How to cancel the status after detection of the DC error." If a protection function is activated immediately after the previous protection function is canceled, cancel that protection function again then enter STBY mode immediately. You can then see the error logs, following the above procedures, until a next protection function is activated.
RESET MODE FOR NUMBERS OF PROTECTION DETECTION
For clearing all the counts of protection detections. (This mode resets the counts of protection detections.)
TO ENTER & EXIT
  • During Standby mode, simultaneously press and hold the [ALC/STANDARD SURR] and [STANDBY/ON] keys for 10 seconds to enter this mode.
  • The display will return to the normal indication when no key operation is performed for 5 seconds.
BASIC OPERATIONS
#1 "5 (-> normal)" denotes that the display will return to the normal indication when no key operation is performed for 5 seconds.
#2 Indication when the BD function is selected.
Detailed Explanations
  1. When the procedures for Reset mode for numbers of protection detections are completed, all the counters will be reset to "000."
  2. Prohibitions:
  • The protection detection counts cannot be cleared (reset to 000) with the MEMORY CLEAR process.
  • They can only be cleared when the procedures of Reset mode are completed.
THE UNIT'S OPERATION WHEN AN ERROR IS DETECTED
  • The unit’s operation when a DC/OVER/TEMP error is detected is described here.
  • How to cancel the status after detection of a DC error is described here, because no key input will be accepted after a DC error detection.
BASIC OPERATIONS
TEMPERATURE [OVERHEAT] ERROR DETECTION
  • For detection of a TEMP error, the unit monitors both the TR_DET and PROTECT2 signals. If a TEMP error is detected, the processes shown below will be performed. The processes shown below are rough operational specifications and are not the actual commands from the mounted components. After a TEMP error is detected, the count of protection activation detections will be updated.
TO CANCEL THE STATUS AFTER DETECTION OF THE DC ERROR
Explanations
Simultaneously holding the [ADVANCD SURROUND] and [STANDBY/ON] keys on the front panel pressed for 2 seconds will cancel Key Input Inhibition mode after a DC error detection and turn the unit ON.
