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.

* In order to keep the user memory preserved, be sure to select PRESET INHIBIT (Memory initialization inhibited).
2. Press the (power) key to turn off the power.

Display provided when Self-Diagnostic Function started
The display is as described below depending on the situation when the power to this unit is turned off.
 When the power is turned off by usual operation:
“NO PROTECT” is displayed. Then “A1-1. DSP THROUGH” is displayed in a few seconds.

When the protection function worked to turn off the power:
The information of protection function which worked at that time is displayed. Then “A1-1. DSP THROUGH” is displayed in a few seconds.
Note: At that time if you restart the self-diagnostic function after turning off the power once, “NO PROTECT” will be displayed. That is because that situation is equal to “1. When the power is turned off by usual operation:”.
However history of the protection function is stored in memory as backup data. For details, refer to “T4. PROTECTION DETECTION” menu.
When there is a history of protection function due to excess current.

Cause: An excessive current flowed through the power amplifier.
Supplementary information: As over current of the power amplifier is detected, check condition of each power transistor.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work immediately and the power supply will instantly be shut off.

Notes:
• Applying the power to this unit without correcting the abnormality can be dangerous and cause additional circuit damage. To avoid this, if “I PROTECT” protection function works 1 time, the power will not turn on even when the “ ” (power) key is pressed. In order to turn on the power again, start up the self-diagnostic function.
• The output transistors in each amplifier channel should be checked for damage before applying power to this unit.
• Amplifier current should be monitored by measuring DC voltage across the emitter resistors for each channel.

When the protection function worked due to abnormal DC output.

Cause: DC output of the power amplifier is abnormal.
Supplementary information: The protection function worked due to a DC voltage appearing at the speaker terminal. A cause could be a defect in the amplifier.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work in 5 seconds and the power supply will be shut off.

When the protection function worked due to abnormal voltage in the power supply section.

Cause: The voltage in the power supply section is abnormal.
Supplementary information: The protection function worked due to a defect or overload in the power supply.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work in 1 seconds and the power supply will be shut off.

Notes:
• Applying the power to this unit without correcting the abnormality can be dangerous and cause additional circuit damage. To avoid this, if “PS” and “DC” protection function works 3 times consecutively, the power will not turn on even when the “ ” (power) key is pressed. In order to turn on the power again, start up the selfdiagnostic function.
• The output transistors in each amplifier channel should be checked for damage before applying power to this unit.
• Amplifier current should be monitored by measuring DC voltage across the emitter resistors for each channel.

When the protection function worked due to excessive heatsink/bridge diode temperature.

Cause: The temperature of the heatsink/bridge diode is excessive.
Supplementary information: The protection function worked due to the temperature limit being exceeded.
Causes could be poor ventilation or a defect related to the thermal sensor.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work in 1 seconds and the power supply will be shut off.

When the protection function worked due to excessive power supply voltage of USB.

Cause: The power supply voltage of USB is excessive.
If the power supply voltage of the USB device connected to the USB terminal is abnormal, “USB Overloaded” is displayed and the protection function works and the power supply will be shut off.

When the protection function worked due to short between speaker terminals.

Cause: Because of the speaker cables, etc., a short occurred between the speaker terminals, and excessive current flowed through the amplifier.
Supplementary information: Use the same detection route as for the protection function due to excess current.
If excess current is detected after the speaker relay worked (ON), it is determined that there may be a short between the speaker terminals.
Protection function works and the power supply will be shut off. If the power supply is turned on again, “CHECK SP WIRES” will be displayed.

History of protection function
When the protection function has worked, its history is stored in memory as backup data.
Even if no abnormality is noted while servicing the unit, an abnormality which has occurred previously can be defined as long as the backup data has been stored.
