    SM Info about DC OFFSET and BIAS for the SX-828

    This subject has been discussed so many times, but I still didn’t find some kind of a ONE-Pager with all pins and millivoltage settings from an official Pioneer Service Manual. Has anyone from this forum got ALL information or can help identify the correct pins to measure DC Offset and BIAS?

    Another SX-828 re-cap

    After a year of sitting on my bench, I finally rebuilt my first pioneer receiver, an SX-828. Here are some notes and resources that may be useful to others, followed by some questions. First off, the receiver is good-looking and sturdy. The owners manual and service manual are available at...

    Pioneer SX-828 vs 1010

    I have an 828 (and 2500, 990) and really like the sound. Just wondering if I'd notice any difference in the sound of a 1010? Initially, I had wanted a 1010, but decided to pick up an 828 since they are half the price of a 1010. Have not been disapointed with the 828, but did I miss anything...

    Pioneer SX-828, Sherwood s-7310 Heaven

    I recently picked up my first vintage Pioneer off the auction site. The unit works great, at least from my initial playing with it for a week or so. Even came with al three pairs of speaker jacks. The sound it produces reflects everything I read on this site. The mids and highs are very...

    Pioneer SX-828 AM/FM audio cuts out

    Everything is working great on my Pioneer SX-828 but...When I listen to the radio the audio cuts out after about 5 minutes or so of being turned on. If I turn off the unit for a while then turn it back on I get the same result, works for about 5 minutes. It doesn't seem to matter whether I am...

    Pioneer SX-828 Please Help with the elusive Stereo Light

    EDIT: SOLVED! May have been the diode or the flying cap or both. When I got this, the STEREO bulb was constantly lit and very bright. Suspecting a transistor issue, I replaced Q19 (2SC968 with KSC2383) and Q20 (2SC711 with KSC1845) on the AF board. Thanks @markthefixer for your help...

    GreenHorns, from Stumptown

    Hi Guys, and greetings from Portland, Oregon. I am jumping into an audio restoration project, as a way to renew various audio gear from the "Golden Age" of HiFi! And why not? When I was a teenager, even the entry-level HiFi I could afford was pretty good, but, we didn't know how good "the...

    SX-828, won't come out of protection.

    I picked up a SX-828 recently and it's in great physical shape. Electronically, not so much. It will not come out of protection. Since there was no reason to not have the caps updated, I've recapped the power supply and the Main Amp, both read close to the same as they did before the recap. I've...
