    Technics SA-TX50

    Hi guys,

    Recently got this Technics SA-TX50 receiver in decent condition and trying to troubleshoot...
    Power up, the relay clicks and "Tuner" source was selected using 'Stereo" mode".
    Increasing the volume from 0 to -55 dB, a faint humming is comming and both VU-meters stuck at 0.1 and the sound is weak and distorted.
    Changhe the input source to front VCR3 connect an analog signal from a DVD player...same result!
    Removed the cabinet and visual inspect for damaged parts...find out main-board has some heat (dark) discoloration on D709-712, D725-728 and Q701-702 area!
    As per service manual pag. 37 that is power supply and regulator for +B5 and another regulator for +B8, +B9.
    As per page 58, the output voltage of Q701 shold be 5.2V ...measured is 5.15V and ICP701 is ok, also tall cap C711 looks fine (again visual).
    The voltage at CN1101B is 10.5V and supply power for IC1114 and IC1115 (respectively +B8 and +B9), both IC output 5.04V.
    During the measurement, I check the temperature on diode bridge and Q701-702 and are getting really hot.
    My understanding is +B5, +B8 and +B9 are 5V voltage low current for video/audio input selector and A/D convertor, DSP IC.
    Before start digging and remove the main-board, did I miss something here ?
    Last thing, removed the link between the decoder and power amp and the decoder output signal is same weak and distorted!

    Re: Technics SA-TX50

    Just a quick update:
    with the decoder to amp links removed, I did connected and analog source (adjustable) to rear POWER AMP INP (front L and R channels), master volume at min and
    the sound is coming loud and clear !!! The VU-metes bounces nicely... so the power amp circuitry is OK ! An observation: turning the master volume knob change the VU-meters readings...on normal condition should have no influence !
    What else from decoder/volume control can be defective ? Should I dissasamble the main-board and remove/check the capacitors C711 and C715 ?

      Yamaha MOX8 boot freeze and distorted sound
      by maleksa
      My Yamaha MOX8 synthesizer recently developed two issues.

      Firstly, after booting up, it operates as normal. However, after about 5 minutes, the sound starts to get distorted (broken up screeching sound) almost like putting it through a guitar distortion pedal. After a while, the distorted sounds will go away for a while and comes back. At times, the synthesizer will also freeze I need to power off and on again.

      Secondly, when powering off and on again, there will be times where the synthesizer will freeze during the boot sequence (freezes at the MOX8 Opening Screen),...

      Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
      by LEECH666
      Good day ladies and gentleman!

      I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

      This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

      I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...
