    CR-620 stuck in protection

    Received a CR-620 in non-working condition, found the output transistors shorted and replaced all four. The unit now powers on but has no audible relay click. I read ~20 V or so on both R775 and R776 with the new transistors installed. Still getting DC voltage on output transistor emitters -...

    Yamaha CR-620 - Right Channel Popcorn Static

    Acquired a CR-620, my first after a series of 400's and 420's, fun to get to know a new model! This particular unit had a bad output transistor, blowing the main fuse, so I upgraded/replaced all 4 with MJ21193G's and MJ21194G's, which solved the problem, but now I have persisting popcorn static...

    Gear Pairing

    Hello AK, once again I emerge from my lurking to ask some advice on my next audio purchase. As some of you may remember, I purchased a pair of JBL 4410's in June of last year. I have been powering them with an interim Pioneer SA-1060 I had laying around from an old system I built in high...

    CR-620 FM Mute Issues

    Long time reader, but first time member to AK. I need some help with my CR-620. Like other folks, I obtained this Yamaha for the spare change in my pocket at a garage sale.

    CR-620 Radio Problems

    I just recalled my entire Yamaha CR-620 today and I got everything back together to find my FM sounds horrible, even when connected to an antenna. Also when I have the FM muting ON I still hear the static of the radio. Looks like I must’ve screwed something up. All the other inputs sound amazing...

    Why am I underwhelmed by my MCS -> Yamaha receiver upgrade?

    You AK folks were a great help to me about 3 years ago when I was trying to put together my first turntable setup. After hitting up garage sales, estate sales, and thrift stores, I wound up with a combo that was by no means anaudiophile's dream, but still pleased my ears (I listen at moderate...

    CR-620 Stuck in Protection Mode

    Gang, I'm the original owner of a CR-620. Never over-worked, and always treated well. The only maintenance performed on it during its life was to clean the pots with Deoxit in attempt to fix "scratchiness", which worked perfectly. Turned it on in August 2018 and, low and behold, the output...

    Help with CR-620 Blowing Main AC Fuse - Outputs Good
