Ok I got this out my friend's old trailer. I plug it up and i get power, but no sound. Even using the Aux. input. Nothing shows up on the equalizer. Also the speakers don't even make a sound when i power it up. But the radio does pick-up, but still no sound. It has one fuse from what i can see and it's good. What else should i look at?

do headphones work? check power supply, output and driver transistors if discrete components or the amp module, depending on the design. all switches set correct? good luck! crippledchicken :)

I don't own it, or have any experience with it, but I assume it has internal fuses that are replaceable, the external one does not need replaced because the unit will not power on without that one. Be sure that you replace the fuse with the same rated fuse. Also, if you do change the fuses don't put the cover back on until you are certain it will perform in a stable manner. If the fuse blows as soon as it is turned on there is a problem. If something goes up in smoke there is a problem. In this case you must disconnect the receiver from power immediately, as it may not have any protection beyond the fuses. If the current fuses are already blown there is a very good chance that the next one will blow and smoke will emit from the problem, or the first problem in the circuit.

I hope for your sake the fuse does not blow and it works perfectly, but plan for the worst. Work safe and smart, meaning no hands inside the receiver once it is plugged it, and use a switched outlet or power strip with a switch that can quickly and safely disconnect power from the receiver if there are any problems. Do not connect any other devices to the receiver (speakers, sources) until you know it isn't going to go up in flames. I always test the output with a junk speaker or speaker driver to avoid damaging my good components.

Good luck.:)

Ok i'm back after a year, and it's still not wooking :lol: But a repair book would be nice for it. But i think when i get a chance i will take it aprt down to the case. 1 to find the fuse (if their is one), and 2 to clean all the mold out.
