Troubleshooting Guide

Common symptoms and diagnostic procedures for service technicians.

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No Power	Fuse, power supply, standby circuit	Check F801 (8A), measure standby voltages
No Audio Output	Protection circuit, amplifier failure	Check protection relay, measure DC offset
Distorted Sound	Amplifier bias, damaged output transistors	Adjust bias current, replace Q701-Q714
No Display	Front panel power, microprocessor	Check +5V to microprocessor, front panel connections
Overheating	Fan failure, bias current too high	Check cooling fan operation, verify bias setting
