Pioneer VSX-D859, documentation

[Roj.]

The Service Manual for the VSX-D859TX (from 2001!) that is commonly available at various sites is a 32page edition which is far from complete. You can view it at hifiengine.com

There are several 'missing' circuit topography diagrams and two of the schematics are not completely published (LH end only of both p23 and p26)

Does anyone have the complete manual or have a link to the it?

Anyone with a working Remote Control can name his price!

Thanks in Anticipation
Roj.

For a remote try 1800REMOTES
Exact Replacement Remote Controls are better than a universal remote

Welcome to the forum, Roj!

I clicked on one of the first links in a Google search (the PDF here), and I don't see any obvious missing portions of pages 23 and 26. The edge markings look correct for those pages. Is that the same as the version that you've seen?

Keep in mind..
Today the AVR brands do not stock the individual, discrete components such as capacitors, resistors or ICs..
They only carry complete PCBs...
Though the parts cost are more expensive, they reduce labor time as the service technician now simply swaps out the defective PCB..

Just my $0.05...

Thanks Crossed

...be a little more for AUD$ + shipping but once I get the receiver sorted, I'll give them a try.

Hello Adam

Thanks for taking the trouble to look for this doc. (sorry to be slow in responding...working away from my base for a few weeks has crimped my DIY pursuits)

Yes, the doc that you referred me to is that same as I have viewed (HiFi Engine / 32p / 1.93MB / pdf) ....both p23 and p26 need more circuit to the right. I went to the trouble of printing and taping all the multi-page drawings...p23 and 26 are orphans. There are grid marks at the RH edge of p23 but close-by, the schematic's horizontal lines go nowhere that I can find. For p26, it is clearer as there are no grid marks at the RH edge. I reckon there should be at least 2 more pages to the right for each. I reckon that the way this doc is commonly presented does not bode well for a more complete version being available.


This receiver has a problem with the protection circuit. Acting at what I think is low to moderate output into two channels only, the unit is turned OFF after a few minutes. The 'missing' drawings are important if I am going to learn how the protection is implemented. I may have to resort to other models' circuitry but that will entail more effort and time than I have at present.

Thanks again for your attention.

Roj.

Hello M Code

Yes, I understand the service approach...my company does the same...not only saves on labour commitment but cuts down on the number of parts that need to be listed and carried.

(I visited the Joshua Tree National (or is it State) Park a few years ago and 'enjoyed' a budget motel in Twentynine Palms. Only the park was impressive.)

Cheers
