    Onkyo DX-C390's are Awful

    Onkyo's 6-cd disc changers are abysmal to work on. Not only ideologically abysmal to see when I sit down at my bench, but a pain to remove parts out of, and a pain to start troubleshooting.

    Has anyone had any luck actually fixing these things or do you just get rid of them? Because that's how I've been treating them unless I'm removing a jammed disc. They're just so primitive and terrible all around. Cheap enough to not order parts for but the parts themselves are so cheap. Feels like a waste of time.

    Listening to Drab Majesty, Chime, Deftones, and other Rushdown Label artists. Professional tech.

      PS5 Disc Not Supported/ Disc Not Recognized Board Num: EDM-020
      by Junior††


      Good Afternoon fellas,

      Issue:
      Disc is showing as not supported when a disc is put in.

      Here's what I've done, you can skip this if you just wanna know the question:
      - replaced with a disc drive from a donor ps5 (honestly questionable if this is known to work)
      - reflowed the disc drive connector
      -reflowed the chip in question (shown on image)
      - I will say this console was very dusty so it's conceivable that it got so hot that it made the chip joints cold and potentially other things on the board

      Question:
      I...

      Onkyo DX-V500 Laser Disc Player - weird SMPS fault
      by dkneyle
      This relic from a technology path that came to a dead end (but still has historical interest) was brought in with a dead SMPS, which is based around a MK1210 device. I got it going after a battle. It seems to have a strange design - if it's not getting feedback that the secondary is OK it cause the big FET to go into full conduction and overloads resulting in a blown fuse at best or something worse! I'm using a Dim Bulb Tester (70W/230V) which thankfully has saved the day a number of times whilst repairing.

      Now, it loads a CD OK. The motor voltage output (which is built onto the SMPS...

      Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
      by FrancescoV
      Good morning everyone,
      I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

      The firmware reported is the following:
      M:1.00/11107BLP
      D:?.??/????????
      O:1.00/11107AL

      The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

      On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

      Disc caps
      by m4a2t0t
      Can I replace a ceramic disc cap with a multilayer ceramic cap? I cant even find .047 uf disc caps at digikey, mouser or newark. The places I do find them want anywhere from 25c to $3 each, at any quantity, plus shipping....

      Bad DC offset on Onkyo TX NR414 - doesn't appear to be in the analogue section
      by jjne
      I have a TX NR414, well I have two actually which are both exhibiting the same issue.

      The one I've had since 2012 developed DC offset of around a volt under load on the front right speaker output. Not enough to trip the protection but enough to be noticeable in terms of sound quality. I checked the preamp board and couldnt see anything obvious. The offset is too high really to be a drift issue right?

      I put the amplifier away for a while. I managed to pick up another example with a dead HDMI board very cheaply (common on these - mine was replaced by Onkyo several years...
