Got this radio where only one side plays. The amplifier section seems pretty simple, there is basically LA4705N responsible for everything. Anybody has some experience with that? Is it the main suspect?

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
it's a btl amp, designed for bridging - if you link the outputs you blow the chip because they are out of phase.
it wouldnt prove anything anyway.
by shorting the inputs to the amp, you are finding if the channel is missing before, or inside/after the amp chip.Comment

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
Or you can link the pins on the input coupling capacitors, not on the side that goes to the chip (i.e. pins 2 and 7) but their other side. That way you won't need to any caps to test the circuit and it works just the same.

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
If the input side of the caps are connected to the pots then it will be fine but if they are connected to the active devices such as the Collector of the Transistors (or the Emitter as in Emitter follower, or output of the OP-AMPs) then that can be the problem since you will tie the Collector of the Left and right Transistors together. Better find out how they are being used first before doing any direct connection.Last edited by budm; 06-08-2015, 10:56 PM.Never stop learning

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
from one side of the out put to the other working one if your fault is not there check you are getting the correct inputs if in puts are ok then problem is with the ic if not you know what you should be getting from the working side so compare.Comment

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
It does the same for all settings (radio, CD player) that's why I think input is OK as it goes from different sources with same result.
The headphone output usually goes through amplifier or not? If not I can try some and in such case I guess I can call input OK too?Less jewellery, more gold into electrotech industry!Half of the computer problems is caused by bad contacts

But I agree. It is better to check what is connected to what before blindly jumpering stuff.

So yes, check with headphones. If you do get sound from both channels with headphones, it could be the headphone jack switching contacts are messed up or just dirty.
The way the output on most boomboxes and "mini" stereo systems is done is you have the outputs from the power amp going to the headphone jack. The headphone jack has switching contacts. If you plug in headphones, the output goes to the headphones and mutes the speakers. If you unplug the headphones, the contacts in the headphone jack switch to route the output to the speakers. Inexpensive stereo PC speakers also do it this way.Last edited by momaka; 06-09-2015, 07:18 AM.Comment

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
You have the scope so that will be so simple to trace where the signal gets lost at, GOOD AC Volt meter will do as well.Last edited by budm; 06-09-2015, 09:04 AM.Never stop learning

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
seriously, probe pins 2 & 7 for audio.
if it's on both, check between the ic and speakers - and check speaker coils.
no issues? then the chip is bad.
missing audio on one of the pins first checked? then trace it back.Comment

Re: Panasonic radio plays only one side
I am just moving from shared shop to my own room so I already have 2/3 of my stuff moved and 1/3 is messed everywhere around. Don't even have room for the radio on my table, it is quite huge and I don't want to mess with my O-scope ATM. Thanks for the input so far, I'll try when I am moved completelly.

ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old
my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?
since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.
the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours
it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something... -
by UserXPDear all,
I have this old radio clock by Sony from the early 80s, I guess. The clock display works, but is dim, the function board appears to be OK - but the radio unit shows no signs of life. It doesn't produce a single noise, crack or anything from either FM or AM band. It's like it doesn't even power up.
i opened the radio and it is full of some TRACON gray capacitors. They only have their negative strip printed, voltage and capacitace markings - no series, no temperature marking, nothing else.
My question is, do you know of this brand of capacitors and how bad are...-
