Troubleshooting Guide

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
No powerBlown fuse, power switchCheck F701; test power switch; verify transformer output
No audio outputProtection circuit, output transistorsCheck protection relay; test output transistors; verify bias
Distorted soundBias current, leaky capacitorsAdjust bias; replace coupling capacitors; check driver transistors
No FM receptionTuner section, IF alignmentCheck tuner power supply; realign IF stages; test HA1156W
Hum in audioGround loops, filter capacitorsReplace main filter capacitors; check ground connections

Service Note: Always check DC offset before connecting speakers.

Safety Precautions

Important safety information for service technicians.

FCC Part 15: Class B digital device; complies with interference limits. Always disconnect AC power before servicing. Use grounded tools and anti-static precautions. High voltages present in power supply - discharge capacitors before working. Replace fuses only with specified ratings. Copyright © 1977 Marantz; all rights reserved.
