Troubleshooting Guide

Systematic approach to diagnosing common problems.

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No power	Blown fuse, power switch	Check F001, test power switch, verify transformer output
Distorted audio	Bias current, output transistors	Adjust bias, test output transistors Q701-Q704
No FM reception	Local oscillator, RF stage	Check oscillator transistor Q301, align RF stage
Hum in phono	Grounding, filter capacitors	Verify ground connections, test C401-C404
One channel dead	Output transistor, driver stage	Test output transistors, check driver stage components

Service Adjustments

Routine maintenance and calibration procedures.

Bias Current: Adjust R765 for 20mA across R781/R782
DC Offset: Adjust R763/R764 for 0V at speaker terminals
FM Alignment: Use sweep generator for IF and detector alignment
Dial Cord: Lubricate and adjust for smooth tuning
Contact Cleaning: Deoxit on controls and switches

WARNING! Use proper test equipment and follow safety procedures.

Safety Precautions

Essential safety information for service technicians.

Always disconnect AC power before servicing. Discharge all large capacitors. Use isolation transformer when testing live circuits. Replace safety critical components with exact specifications. Follow ESD precautions when handling semiconductors.

DANGER! Lethal voltages present - qualified personnel only.
