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.

ALTO MODEL: L12 - L16 - L20 – PROFESSIONAL EQUALIZER – CIRCUIT DIAGRAM - TESTING

ALTO MODEL: L12 - L16 - L20 – Professional Equalizer – Circuit Diagram - Testing

Please wait.  Might take some time to load.  Click on the schematics to Zoom in
Functions test
a. Input the proper AC power supply, turn on the main power, POWER LED will be illuminated (green). Then switch on PHANTOM power, PHANTOM LED will be illuminated (red), use a voltmeter to test the first pin and second pin of each MIC (MIC 1, MIC 2), the volt of phantom power should be 46V(±2V). then power off the switch.(Note: please turn off the switch when you are doing the steps of test procedure as follows)
b. Set all TRIM, LEVEL, EQ, AUX knobs to the position of 0, set PAN to the position of LEFT. All buttons to the position of OFF.
c. Input the signal from balanced sockets (MIC 1 & MIC 2), input the signal from  unbalanced sockets (LINE IN 3/4&LINE5/6)
d. Input the signal to the unbalanced AUX RENTURN sockets separately, test the balanced output (LEFT & RIGHT) of MAIN MIX OUTPUT, which should be 5dBu (±1dB) THD + N<0.003%.
e. Insert the RCA plug to L& R of TAPE IN separately:
First, press 2TK TO MIX button, test the unbalanced outputs (LEFT&RIGHT) of MAIN MIX OUTPUT, CONTROL ROOM and PHONE (need stereo plug for testing) separately, which should be 0dBu(±1dB) THD + N<0.006%.the output of TAPE OUT is 0dBu(±1dB)
Then release 2TK TO MIX button (OFF), no input from CONTROL ROOM, when press 2TK TO CONTROL ROOM, test the output, which is 0dBu (±2dB) THD + N<0.002%.
f. Input +15dBu 1kHz sine wave (load out 600Ω, BNC-Unbalanced) through LINE 1, when turn MAIN MIX LEVEL counter-clockwise to the minimize, all LEVEL LEDs will turned off, when turn MAIN MIX LEVEL pot clockwise to the
maximize, the LEVEL LEDs will be illuminated in sequence. test that whether the relating LED is illuminated when the level of output signal reaches the exactly value as LED shows . If so, test the maximize output level (before clipping) is
20dBu(±1dB) THD + N<0.1%.)
Adjust TRIM knob of CH 1 clockwise, PEAK LED will be illuminated (red). And test all PEAK LEDs from CH 1 to CH6
frequency response test
When Test the inputs of LINE 1, LINE 2, LINE 3, LINE 4, LINE 5, LINE 6 separately as follows, the frequency response curve of MAIN MIX OUTPUT (LEFT & RIGHT) (the preset of all knobs are the same as function test step 2.b)
a. Open S8RESP1.atl test procedure, press and release the LOW CUT switch, test the frequency response curve of LINE 1, LINE 2 LINE 3, LINE 4
b. Turn EQ HI &LOW knob to the MAX and the MIN (EQ MID at the middle), test the frequency response.


c. Turn EQ MID to the MAX and the MIN (EQ HI &LOW at the middle), test the frequency response.
Please wait.  Might take some time to load.
Click on the schematics to zoom in
Remarks: the frequency response test of normal instruments
a. Turn EQ LOW knob of the relating channel clockwise to the max (+15), the output is +15dBu(± 2dB), then turn EQ LOW knob of the relating channel counter-clockwise to the min. (-15), the output is –15dBu(± 2dB)
b. Input the signal at 2.5kHz, Turn EQ MID knob of the relating channel clockwise to the max (+12), the output is +12dBu(± 2dB), then turn EQ MID knob of the relating channel counter-clockwise to the min. (-12), the output is –
12dBu(± 2dB)
c. Input the signal at 15kHz, Turn EQ HIGN knob of the relating channel clockwise to the max (+15), the output is +15dBu(± 3dB), then turn EQ HIGH knob of the relating channel counter-clockwise to the min. (-15), the output is –15dBu(± 3dB)
DSP
a. Input the signal from MIC1, output the signal from MAIN MIX OUTPUT, turn AUX RTN2(DFX)clockwise to the MAX, turn PRESETS and VARATIONS knobs, the signal will be processed by DSP, if the level of the signal is over-high, PEAK LED will be illuminated to red, press DFX MUTE button, Bypass the signal, press the footswitch, which is connected to DFX FOOSWITCH, the signal will get out of BYPASS.
b. Input the signal from MIC 1 to MIC 4, output the signal from AUX SEND S1, turn AUX 2 /DFX TO AUX 1 counter-clockwise to the MAX., turn PRESET and VARATIONS knobs, the signal will be processed by DSP. (do not need to test L6 with this step)
Sampling test
Connecting L 6 to a power amplifier and speakers, listening to the sound, no noise is OK.
Company preset: turn all volume knobs to the MIN. other control knobs to the middle, all switches to the position of OFF.
