    JVC KD-A5 Repair Help

    I recently got a JVC KD-A5 from my cousins that's been sitting in their garage since the late 80's. Most everything works on it, the belts are good and all the lights work, with the exception of the record LED. I don't think it's bad, I think the record function has gone out. It has soft touch...

    Just picked up a JVC/Nivico SRP-471E-5

    Stopped into our local thrift store to see if there were any goodies, and walked out with a JVC/Nivico SRP-471E-5, for $10. The motor works, as well as speed changer. The tone arm looks good. Even the cartridge looks ok. A few issues though: - It does not turn off - starts spinning as soon...

    JVC JA-S77 - Noise Issues

    I have a JVC JA-S77 integrated amp that sounds wonderful except for a few issues. When I have no music playing, I turn up the volume to see if there is any static or noise of any kind coming from any of the input channels. Dead silent on the Tuner and AUX channels, but Phono 1 is noisy and Phono...

    JVC T-Xx tuners

    So there's a big JVC thread elsewhere that's probably a good source of this kind of model-specific info, but I thought I'd start here. I've been scouring the globe for a tuner to match my A-X2 integrated -- namely a T-X1 (analog) or T-X2 (digital). They evidently don't exist in North America, or...

    JVC R-X400 no output and LCD doing some weird things

    So I bought an untested JVC R-X400 on eBay kind of knowing this would happen. As of right now I'm getting no output, one of the fuse lamps is burnt out, but I know how to replace that. The spectrum analyzer is peaking at all but one frequency, and the display at that part I'm assuming displays...

    Now to start this off, I don't even know if this is the right place to put this since my JVC isn't exactly "vintage". It's from 1993 and actually looks newer, so I honestly don't know.
