and output jacks J1 and J8 for shorts, opens and proper placement 
of C17, C30, R32 and R33. 
Problem:  No audio from any output 
Check:  1.First, make sure you have an audio signal applied to both left and 
right channel inputs. If you still don’t hear any audio remove any 
jumpers installed on H1 and H2 and check for audio on the 
headphone and speaker outputs. If you still don’t have any audio 
on the speaker and headphone outputs go to the “No audio from 
only the line output jacks J1 and J8” problem section. Otherwise 
go to step 2 
2. Make sure ALL of the power supplies are operating properly. 
See the “POWER SUPPLY PROBLEMS” section if you have any 
doubts. If correct go to step 3. 
3. Use the headphone test jig to check for signal on pins 1 and 7 of 
U1. If signal is present go to step 4. Otherwise check for shorted 
connections in the entire signal path between these pins and pin 1 
on H1 and H2 and also pins 2 and 19 on U3. Also check that C4 
and C9 are installed correctly. 
4. Measure the voltage on U1 pins 3 and 5. [READING = +5VDC 
+/-0.02 VDC] If good go to step 5. If the reading is not correct 
check for component placement and shorts on the connections 
around R1, R11, R14 and R23. 
5. If you still don’t have any audio outputs there may be a problem 
between the input jacks, J2, J3 and J4 and the input buffer 
amplifiers U1:A and U1:B. Unfortunately the headphone test jig will 
probably not work to test signals in this area. The best thing to do if 
you don’t have any other test equipment is to check all the 
components and connections between the input jacks and input 
buffers. 
BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE/LOUDNESS/VOLUME CONTORLS
Problem:  Improper operation of ALL controls (bass, treble, balance, loudness 
and volume) 
Checks: 
1. Turn all controls fully counter clockwise and measure the voltage 
on U3 pin 17. [READING = 5.4VDC] If the voltage is correct 
check the entire circuit path for open circuits from U3 pin 17 to 
all connections on both the main board and front panel board. 
This is the only ‘signal’ that is common to all these functions. If 
the voltage is not correct go to step 2. 
2. Check the entire circuit path for short circuits from U3 pin 17 on
