Marantz SR92

The pictures in Post #120? If so, the solder looks much better, but you really need to clean off that residual solder flux so it doesn't corrode the board.

There is no flux. I washed it after the soldering, the brown stuff you see is the board itself. Thank you.
 
Hello again, wonder if I could bother you with a Marantz SR82, when plugged in, clock shows up, power relay clicks in then protection kicks in and amp section remains on all the time. When power pressed to turn ON, display shows up fine and functions work OK, when power pressed to turn off, the display and functions all turned off but the AMP and power relay stays on.
SR92 stays in protection mode, do you feel like it?

Are we still trying to fix the SR82 or did you jump back to the SR92?
 
It was, the problem I had there was with the Tuner and that works fine, but now it does not come out of the protection mode.
I figured we exhausted the option on the SR82 so I buttoned it up and put it away. got the SR92 on the bench to install the side covers and when tested discovered the problem.
The background story = I took the SR92 to a local tech shop for repair, he said the Tuner need apart that is not available but the SR82 which is more common has the same tuner and if I'll can get one that works, he can swap it and fix the problem, so I got that SR82 for parts but the tuner was not identical and while fitted in OK, did not function properly. so, we were back to square I took the SR92 home, with your help got it to work and life was great. now, I have SR85 too which I don't really need. and the SR92 not playing. BTW my current unit is 2238B

Thank you.

You have an SR85 in addition to the SR82 and SR92?
  1. SR92 - After repairing the tuner, the SR92 worked fine both the tuner and amp. But now it doesn't work and does not come out of protection mode?
  2. SR82 - No conclusion on the problem. Bought for parts. Put away for now.
  3. SR85 - Don't need it.
So now you want to re-investigate why the SR92 (which fully worked a few days ago) is now not coming out of protection?
BTW, nice 2238B... looks similar to my 2252B.
 
No, no SR85 (miss typed), talking about the SR82. I don't know that there is even a model like that SR85.

1. yes, this is correct. (Turns ON but does not come out of protection)
2. Yes, this is correct.
3. I don't have SR85

Yes, this is correct

I thought you might like it.

I know you have the knowledge and the persistence, you good at it.

Will you help? PLEASE.

Thank you.
 
Let's first take a look at the protect circuit that decides to turn on the relays.
Here is the schematic for the PV04 PCB.
I have highlighted the speaker relays in yellow and the protection circuit IC, QN06 (TA7317P) that controls turning on the speaker relays.

That part is located here on the PC board. It is a 9-pin SIP package as shown on the TA7317P Datasheet below.

Please measure the DC voltages on the 9-pins of the IC and compare them against the schematic below and report what you find.

First, big Thank You!

DC voltages on the 9-pins of IC - QNO6

1. -2.9V
2. -1.6V
3. -1.6V
4. -3.0V
5. -2.4V
6. +33.8V
7. -2.3V
8. -1.6V
9. +0.6V

Please check your voltage measurements. They can't be right since pins 7, 4, & 5 should be 0v connected to ground. Maybe the other pins are off also?

Something is not right with this schematic??? If you look at the board pins, 5, 7 are not connected to ground. Only 4 could be.
Unless your board has jumpers instead of RN24 & RN25?

Voltages measured again and list is slightly adjusted (receiver was connected via dimbulb first, now connected directly to AC outlet) measurements were made between chassis and the IC QN06 pins Pin 7 = -2.2V , Pin 4 = -2.2V , Pin 5 = -2.9

RN24 measure 12 m/ohm , RN25 33K

Good new, the track on the board at Q801 was cracked, I have repaired it and the receiver works OK (your explanation, comments and observations led me to it)

You are very good and a pleasure to work with, THANK YOU.

Until the next time.

What causes that imbalance and lag? I have never checked it before, just got the scope fairly recently and learning to use it, the sound also sounds a bit saturated on tuner (maybe reception) on CD input sounds OK.

Check to see if what you are seeing is an incorrect scope setting, triggering error, or actual difference in the two channels. Connect both probes to the same channel and see if they line up both in amplitude and phase.
