    Pioneer VSX-527-K distorted audio after replacing parts

    Hi,
    my friend asked to look at the amplifier. Amp model is Pioneer VSX-527-K.

    First symptom was no power or standby.

    Found few faulty components from AMP5 Assy: transistors Q404 (2SD2390), Q410 (2SB1560), resistors R430 (0R47), R431 (0R47) and R439 (100 ohm). All belongs to Front Left Channel.

    Purchased transistors from eBay (from France). Soldered new components and reapplied thermal paste to heatsink. After it amplifier starts and can hear music ok from right speaker but left speaker has distorted and lower sound than right..

    Checked all idle current adjustment points. FL (TP401) test point says 0 mV. Value won't change when turn VR401. Normal value should be 2 mV +0.2 mV. Can't find faulty resistors from circuit. I have only multimeter.

    Anyone have any tips on what else to look for?

    Video from issue on Youtube (first left channel, second right channel and, last left channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5dxitiHdbU

    Service manual for VSX-1022-K (AMP5 Assy Schematics is same for VSX-527-K):

    PS. I have also oscilloscope (but it's so old and I don't know how to use it )

      Check all transistors and diodes from your screenshot with multimeter (diode mode).
      Collector to emitter shorts are typical.
      If that doesn't help, measure voltages at all transistor pins and post it here.

          q409 maybe bad .. also check the diodes .. what voltages at the outputs ? i expect bases to be plus minus 1.2v ish . emitters 0v . and collectors plus minus rail voltage .

              Samsung UN65JU67ODFXZA Version TD01 Schematic and Parts List
              by Mark D
              The TV is a Samsung UN65JU67ODFXZA Version TD01. I replaced the power source board and the TV is now working, but I decided to try and troubleshoot the old board to fix at the component level. Trying to get a schematic and a parts list has proven to be an issue. Trying on my own, I can't tell you how many times my Norton security has flagged sites as "malicious". I ordered a service manual from ServiceManuals.net, paid $16.99 and got 66 pages of everything BUT schematics and component parts list! Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Some of the surface mounted component parts...

              Yamaha MOX8 boot freeze and distorted sound
              by maleksa
              My Yamaha MOX8 synthesizer recently developed two issues.

              Firstly, after booting up, it operates as normal. However, after about 5 minutes, the sound starts to get distorted (broken up screeching sound) almost like putting it through a guitar distortion pedal. After a while, the distorted sounds will go away for a while and comes back. At times, the synthesizer will also freeze I need to power off and on again.

              Secondly, when powering off and on again, there will be times where the synthesizer will freeze during the boot sequence (freezes at the MOX8 Opening Screen),...

              Pioneer PL-X9 motor speed control wobble
              by Bushcat
              I'm starting to re-cap a Pioneer PL-X9 turntable, specifically the motor control board, because although everything tests out OK according to the service manual, the speed wavers slightly despite the quartz lock light remaining on. So, I've decided to re-cap that board since it's the cheapest next step...

              Pioneer's passive component naming convention is clear to me. For example, CSZA R22M 35 is tantalum, radial leads, 0.22uF, 20%, 35V.

              BUT there are two capacitors on the board which have actual Pioneer part numbers: PCL-042. I can tell they are 0.1uF, 16V but don't...

              What parts can be salvaged from a plasma with a damaged display panel?
              by SurrealMustard
              I recently found myself the proud owner of a later-model Samsung plasma (the PN59D7000 for those keeping score at home) whose panel was, unfortunately, damaged in transport. I'm now preparing to part it out, but am curious as to whether or not any damage would have come to any of the components by attempting to power it up with the panel being broken. I read in one Avsforum thread (for whatever that's worth 😂) that the "scan driver boards" (by which I assume he means buffer boards) could be impacted by doing so. Is that actually the case? If so, since I don't intend on selling bad...

              vsx 1021K 2sb1560 replacement parts
              by jasonkiet
              Hi,

              I am a noob and have no electronic background beside those high school courses. I don't know how to read the schematic but I know the principle of resistors, transistor and capacitor. I have a Pioneer vsx-1021K which I bought new 8 years ago. Last week I was careless and shorted the center speaker wires, no smoke or anything. The MCACC light is flashing after that. So I read through this forum and watched Youtube videos, I managed locate the shorted transistor 2sb1560 (part# J5032390Y0000-IL) and 2 bad resistors 0R47 (part# N113136647820-IL). After cutting them out, I put the...
