    Hitachi 3d7 mk2 boombox hum/noise

    Hi guys,
    I'm currently restaurating a hitachi 3d7 MKII boombox, it is going well, except for one thing: there is a hum hearable while listening at any volume (it gets louder when turning up the volume).
    In order to troubleshoot the bad cap(s) I was thinking of temporarily mounting (I mean holding against) a good cap in parallel with another to check if the hum decreases (or changes).
    Is this possible without damaging the boombox ? and can this be effective ?
    I'm not quite confortable with replacing every cap even though only 1 has probably failed. (I don't have enough in stock and this project is getting quite expensive now).
    Thank you in advance !
    Idris

      does it do the same on batteries?

          Thank you for the reply !
          Sorry, I forgot to mention this:
          -it happens on the left and right channel + with headphones
          -noticeable when on batteries
          -the noise gets louder when turning the volume up
          -it can be filtered out using the equalisers
          -it is even noticable when nothing is connected (tape deck disconnected from main board, no line-in connected)
          -clearly hearable when playing music through the cassette deck or line in.
          -the resistance between the ground of the power supply is 0 Ohm to all 'grounds' I measured on the board

          The problem might lay in the pre amp, but I don't know where it's located as I don't have a service manual.
          That's why I wanted to check it the way I described it in the first post.

              Vizio D65x-G4 Volume changes on its own
              by karthur
              On this Vizio D65x, the volume will change on its own. I don't mean like during commercials where the volume will increase. I mean its like the (+) volume button on the remote is pressed and the actual volume dialog is displayed on the screen going up. It will do this, then the volume may start going down. It might go all the way to "0"or it might stop at a different number, then start going back up. The whole time its doing this, the volume dialog is shown on the screen.

              It wont do it until it has been "ON" for 20 or 30 minutes, so it does seem to be heat related....

              Removing electrical noise introduced by fan
              by tony359
              Hi all,

              I am working on a sound processor, it tends to overheat so I fitted a fan inside. The fan is connected to the +15V of the PSU via a DC-DC converter based on the LM2596 to reduce the voltage to around 10.5V.

              Unfortunately the analogue circuitry is picking up the noise from the fan in two ways:
              1. The fan is close to the analogue section, the motor itself gets into the outputs so I'll have to move it somewhere else
              2. Even with the fan running outside of the case, there is still some noise which is clearly going back to the processor via power line....

              Philips HTS8000 home cinema noise problem
              by courtcircuit
              Hello

              I have since a long time a Philips HTS8010S/01 which has been old but was doing the job.

              Since a few days, it starts by making a weird "static" nois when switches on for a few seconds to a minute and then works like a charm.
              Noise loudly outputs from the 3 channels, even if no signal is sent by the controler.DVD to the subwoofer/amp unit.

              I was thinking of a soldering that was starting to be damaged and that was only doing the job after a few seconds of heating, most probbaly on the power board
              Removed each of tyhe boards

              Sony HCD-HX80R Amplifier Volume Control Problem
              by crackedprint
              I have a strange fault on a Sony amplifier. The volume control varies the display from MIN, then 1 up to 30 and then MAX as expected. At MIN there is no sound. However, at 1 it is quite loud and increasing above 1 does not change the sound level.

              I have tried a Cold Reset as per the service manual.

              I have looked at the I2C clock and data to volume control chip IC501 (BD3499FV). Data is only sent to IC501 when the volume is set to MIN or 1. At any other setting no data is sent to IC501.

              I have looked all the way through the service manual and tried many online...

              Marantz SR5007 popping on volume change and mute in Direct Mode
              by BigOof
              Hi,

              I bought a used Marantz SR5007 and it's giving me some issues that I can't seem to really place. It functions well in most settings, ARC mostly works, it has no issues driving my speakers in any of the digital input modes, but I'm having issues running analog inputs in direct or pure direct mode. For some reason in this mode there's distortion for every volume increment I give it, but once the volume is stable it has no issues. Muting creates a loud pop, switching to another source also causes a pop and so does turning off the amp in that mode. Again, no issue in the digital modes....
