    RCA RT2770 Receiver

    Found an interesting little gizmo, an RCA RT2770 receiver...supposedly "1000 watts". Yeah right....it weighs less than 10 pounds and says 90 watts power consumption. The SMPS is probably 150W or so.

    It turns on but there is no audio what so ever. No obvious damage was seen, PSU voltages seem reasonable.

    The whole show seems to be run by a Zoran Vaddis 886 DSP system on a chip while the output stages are three ST Micro STA517B quad half bridge power stages. They seem to be set up as two full bridges each, one for every two channels.

    The ST ICs are just the power stages for a class D amplifier. The DSP is the driver stage.

    Without a data sheet on that Zoran DSP or a service manual, I'm afraid I'm SOL in regards to restoring this to it's original purpose...but that's OK, I kind of had other plans for it anyway because I knew it was class D.

    The power supply clearly isn't up to pushing much juice but the amp board looks to be quite well made, a nice multilayer FR4 board with a nicely made heatsink. If given a beefy PSU, I bet I can get near ST's quoted numbers.

    The fun will be cooking up a driver for them....

      If someone can tell me the voltage that should be across C245 on the DSP board, that would be awesome. I'm seeing 35mV....something tells me I should see more across a 1000uF 6.3V cap. :P

        Running out of Ideas, hoping someone smart can provide some for my ONKYO TX-SR353 Receiver
        by CDNBrewer
        Hello Everyone,

        I have an Onkyo TX-SR353 Audio/Video Receiver (5.1 ch with HDMI) that I am having a really hard time diagnosing and I'm about to throw this in the junk and go buy a new unit that is on sale until the 7th.

        Symptoms:
        • Intermittent (part of the reason why i'm having a hard time isolating problem), sometimes will work for 10+h at a time without issue
        • Original symptom was wife reported loud banging noise (like someone was banging on the wall with their fists) from the LEFT SURROUND speaker and then the unit shut off.
        • I swapped the Left and Right surround
        ...

        DSE GE6878 possible TV receiver dying remote not working well
        by CdDvdFlash
        For this Dick Smith TV GE6878 (Thompson) I replaced the broken remote with a universal it kinda works though if its more than a few meters away sometimes the buttons register and sometimes they wont so I bought another remote from another brand and it has the same problem, I've had an old TV in the past that the sensor died completely and I replaced it to fix it could this be a similar problem? I tried looking for a service manual, spare parts for a receiver and a parts list but I couldnt find any info. can someone please help me to find the info online for a service manual or where I can buy...

        Yamaha RX-V485 receiver. After encountering a "version error"
        by sanalelevenstar
        Hi everyone,
        I'm having trouble with my Yamaha RX-V485 receiver. After encountering a "version error", the USB, Bluetooth, and network functions have stopped working, making it impossible to perform a firmware update through normal methods.
        After doing some research on forums, I found that earlier Yamaha models with similar issues (like the internal error message) could be fixed by shorting or soldering specific pads—such as R896—and then powering on the unit to enter a service/boot mode that displays the model info and allows recovery.
        I managed to find the service...

        Denon AVR-2700H audio stops while receiver still works
        by Cornito
        Hello team,

        I've got a new issue with a Denon Avr-2700H.
        After several minutes working, receiver stops playing sound with a poc eared in the speakers.
        Receiver still work and display video with error message on display.
        Seems to me that is the main output relay.

        I'm looking for the service manual that I can't find for the moment.

        Does somebody have it?

        Regards...
