AKAI aa-1150

Hi all. Picked up a AKAI aa-1150 receiver in good working order, but haven't been able to find a manual. Does anyone have a copy of the service manual or instructions on how to check and adjust bias?

THX. That will help a bit. Unfortunately the 1040 is not similar to the 1150, but may help as a general rule of thumb.

The AA-1135 is very close to the AA-1150.
There are both in the same SM.
A kind AKer sent me a copy of the SM. Its a big one.

The only adjustment is the idle current
Connect a DMM across the emmiters on the output transistors and adjust the trimmers to get 25mv.

The trick is that the outputs are on the bottom (separate little board IIRC) and the trimmers up on top of the main amp board.

They have drawings. The ouptut connections shown are all BCE but I can't tell if I am seeing it from the top or bottom, so the actual transistors could be ECB

The board is AS-3502B and has the name AKAI on one end.
The emmiters are all on the AKAI side.


I'll have to dig out the scanner.
 
Hi

I've got one of this open right now in front of me.
i did the idling current adjustment

But, I've got on speakers terminals 15mV on one channel, and in the other about 50mV.
I see there is not bias adjustment.
in my case, this difference, is it matter? is it points on something?
what to do if something need to be done?

Thanks

P.S
I've encounter something weird.
When im playing music thru Aux while speakers disconnected, and reise the volume pretty high (50-60%), i start listening a tiny volume music thru the inside of the receiver.
in the area of the power amp board.
is it normal? does anyone encounter this thing before?

Hi @rotco,

If the 15mv and 50mv are measured on the speaker terminals with the volume all the way down, this is fine and won't cause any problems. Not every amplifier has a dc offset adjustment, it depends on the design.

As for the bleed through when listening to the AUX input at a high volume setting this is also normal. Not desired, but unfortunately normal. One way to avoid it is to turn off all external sources feeding the receiver except the one you want to listen to and turn the FM muting on and tune off a station so there is not output coming from the tuner.

Here's a scan of the AA-1135/AA-1150 amp adjustment page from the service manual.
Hi blhagstrom, would you happen to have a copy of the schematic for aa-1135/50? The ones available online are of poor quality and the circuit voltages are not legible.
