    Rotel Rx-402 fault finding

    I've had it hooked up to the bench CD player and speakers playing for a few hours over 2 nights and it sounds as good as any other 402 i have here. The stereo sound is spot on where it should be and once i've gone through the other issues, it'll go into it's new housing and sit in the kitchen as...

    Rotel Rx-402 fault finding

    After the scope/dummy test it was time to load up with an audio signal and it has highlighted an issue.

    Rotel Rx-402 fault finding

    Results from the scope/dummy load Input of 1.018 KHz, test point at speaker output ( left & right tested independantly) = 13.6V RMS, squared then divided by 8Ω, gives me 23.12 Watt before clipping on both channels. I'd say that was a good result :D

    rotel ra 611 blown resistor help

    I'm very new to all this but i have a thread here which is ongoing at fault finding on a RX-402...part of this is a faulty RHC. If you take a little time to read through you can pick up some pointers of where to look and how to test the components to see what else may be at fault. I'd hazard a...

    Rotel Rx-402 fault finding

    Maybe i'm not reading the graph correctly but is it not sitting between UF1004 x 3 and the STV3H up till 6mA? Also is the bottom 1N4148 x 2 + BAT41 just 1N4148 x 2? Is it possible to show what the STV3H-Y and a 1N4148 would look like? I didn't get a result from the physical board of STV3H-Y...

    Rotel Rx-402 fault finding

    Can you explain how you know it's running at 3.5mA? I've done this using the original D606 which i removed at the start and i have a good 7.5mV reading, still under DBT. I did monitor this with the setting it at 7.5mV. It crept up to 7.8mV then dropped to 7.2mV, then moved around abit more...
