Re: Marantz SR5300

Is the cap bad? is the value still show correct capacitance? I do not believe it will not be the cause of your problem, its job may be just for the AC line noise filter function.

Re: Marantz SR5300

I guess you are right, a capacitor with that rating probably do nothing but filter noise. should be there to filter some high frequency that might affect the tuner, same goes to the rubber/plastic cover.

Don't have a capacitance meter so can't check. I took everything apart and so some cleaning here and there, and it Works! the LCD display brightness is uneven though, for a 23 years old device, I guess this is acceptable. Just see how much dust had rested on its Amp counterpart. and it still work without any issues.

Thanks for the replies again.

Jeez, I'm surprised that thing hasn't caught on fire or died a spectular death.

1) That, my friends, is called "fluffy"

2) Once again, that good ol' saying rings true - they don't make'em like they used to...

Re: Marantz SR5300

I was happily tidy up the messy cable behind and suddenly the amp went POP and shut down! looks well I didn't fix the problem cause it have the exact same symptom as before--shutdown immediately when I tried to switch it on with remote or thru front input selection.

Opened it up and again, loose solder connection. this time is the connection straight from the transformer. I wiggle the connector and it turn on, a slight move cause a short with spark. I took apart and re-solder the connection but unfortunately, it didn't wake up as before. I was sure when I press the loose connector, the amp work before I re-solder. without that connection, amp would turn on normally and able to switch input but its as good as trash if it can not output sound.

I suspect its short in one of the electronic beside the connector, problem for me is I don't how or where to start. please take a look at the schematic and advise me. the test above was bare main board with only front panel connected.

If anyone interested, this is the Service Manual
