    DGTEC DG-HD320PVR and Teac HDR1600T - bad C10 affecting tuners

    Upon opening a DGTEC DG-HD320 PVR which could not receive any stations, I found that C10 (KSC brand) was bulging, bringing down the +7V rail which goes to a +5V regulator for the tuners.
    Replacing this capacitor along with the others on the power supply board fixed this problem.
    A similar unit, this time, a Teac HDR1600T, had broken up pictures and upon opening, C10 (again, KSC brand) was again the problem, along with C16 (JUNZL brand on the -12V rail) also bulging, and the same repair like on the DGTEC fixed the problem.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.
