I have a Marantz SR4320 receiver and it has a very distorted and garbled right channel. Where might I start looking for issues and/or can someone walk me through troubleshooting this thing? Somehow missed this on the first quick pass lol but I have found A problem and hopefully THE problem (See pics).

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
It almost looks like something was spilled in that area, try replacing the burnt resistor, check the transistors in that area, like Q318 etc.Last edited by R_J; 12-18-2017, 01:23 PM. -
Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
You can test them in circuit, if they check shorted or maybe not right, then remove & test them out of circuit, you can also compare the reading with the same transistor in the working channel.
Have you tried just replacing the resistor to see if it works, Just keep an eye on it when you turn on the amp, if the resistor starts to smoke, check for shorted transistors.Last edited by R_J; 12-18-2017, 05:49 PM.Comment

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
That dark crap what i think it is ?, isn't that the stuff that goes conductive ?, if so might be under the cap(s) too.Last edited by AsRock; 12-20-2017, 05:38 PM.Comment

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
Did not know that could be conductive, gonna have to double check but I believe the caps there have some hot-snot all around them.
As an update; replaced the resistor and pulled the transistor but it checked good out of circuit. Just need to get some mica transistor insulators and I'll have it back together.Comment

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
Looks like R352 burned up. 100R 1/4W. That is the for the -ve rail for the right channel power amp driver and voltage amp stages.
I would expect other resistors like R348/R346 100R to also burn up.
Shorted C314 is the only thing I can see that would cook just this one part.Attached FilesComment

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
They are not that bad, and not the cause of the problem. most caps like that are 20% tollerance. and they are not new so they may check a bit low, change them later if you like.
Have you tried turning on the amp after replacing the resistor?Comment

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
Got the board along with new Mica strips and ceramic thermal compound installed.
Good news: the new resistor didn't smoke and seems to be doing just fine.
Bad news: I have next to no output from headphones or speakers, I get a very quiet output when the volume is all the way up and that's it. confirmed the issue is present on channel a and b left and right and on multiple inputs and tuner. seems I might have goofed something else up?
HAHAHAHA I fixed it, APPARENTLY These jumpers HAVE to be installed to get any sound!!!
Works awesome now!

Re: Marantz SR4320 very distorted channel
Glad its working, simpler than you thought. I have seen a lot of amps where someone forgot the loop throughs from pre out to main in.Comment

Been there done that with the jumpers lol, Good to hear you fixed it.

First off I would like to thank this community as it has provided me with great information that has helped me greatly on my repair for this Marantz SR5012 AV receiver. I am creating this new thread as the other 2 that I have created here has had their original question/problem solved and I plan that this is the final thread on my repair. Please note that this is my first time repairing audio amplifiers so I may not be aware of common issues and things to know.
Lets start at what I have done so far. Random speaker popping on all channels is fixed by replacing the 2 large filter... -
Anyone run memory speed tests with an old X58-based triple channel 1st gen or any other >2 channel board? The one I have is a Gigabyte I think.
Anyway I had four 4GB DDR3-1333 modules in the 6 memory slots and got around 11GB/sec memory speeds assuming that it went dual channel since it didn't have enough modules for triple channel. Now I stuck in two more 4GB modules, but they are DDR3-1600. I'm still getting 11GB/sec speeds according to memtest86...
Just wondering, anyone do memory speed analysis on these triple (and higher) channel memory boards? Are there any... -
Hi friends
I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board... -
Hi all forum members,
Fyi, i have been working on this old model PCT-4082 (4 channel car amplifier). The owner said only one channel is working.
My initial finding is this amp originally use Toshiba 2SA1943 and 2SC5200 transistor for its output but after opening the top casing i found it used Toshiba A1941 (pnp)and C5198(npn). I desoldered all the 4 pairs transistors and found 1 piece A1941 open(tested "OL" on all legs) and replaced the 1st pair with 2SA1943 and 2SC5200, thats why you can see in the picture it is the bigger size transistor. The other A1941 and C5198 all... -
Hi:
I have this receiver on the table coming from a friend. The right channel is not working.
It has the same behaviour using analog input or digital input. Also using headphones have the same result...so I guess the problem won't be on the preamp card.
Any idea/suggestion where to start looking at?
Regards,
Francesc.
