thekmanrocks@gmail.com: Jul 14 05:20AM -0700 WHAT THE ?     This is JVC's RX-515V Pro Logic Surround Receiver, 80W mains, 20W Center, 20W Surrounds. 1994 model I believe.     The first one, I bought in 1995 new, blew center channel last summer. I plugged the center speaker into a mains output to check it - got sound. Pressed Test, got noise in all speakers exc center.     I was lucky to EBay a replacement from Texas, and it served me well until just today. All other speakers, features work. Just no center.     I do not know if the problem is on the internal input side of the surround, or the output side. I would appreciate some help fixing this as I really like the features and extra inputs these older units have compared to today's.     Why does the same thing keep quitting on this model?

Nowadays they fall under the firearms regulations, which made them a royal pain in the back end to own and operate, so they're actively being replaced by remote-operated pneumatic equivalents now.   Dimitrij

One kilohertzz square wave at 400 mV amplitude positive going, with a scope freewheeled into sync and DC coupled. The most effective lytic checker in the world once you lern to read it.   > Once you learn to read it. I invented it, I used it to great profit and productivitly and I taught others how to use it, but only where I worked.   I doubt many much that you invented the process.   That trick dates back to the days of early electronics, very early..     > Now that I am older and ready to die Imight be tempted to reveal all the details. the bottom line is that tis thing read directly RIGHT NOW, no waiting for some stupid program to run. Like the one they had at opjne job, the son of a bitch sat there and said "DISCHARGING". The fuck you cre if it is charged ? Just read the AC resistance.   > Well my scope doodad does exactly that and if the cap is charged then the scope will still read correctly on AC and not iondicate the cap is charged. BTW, does it occur to anyone that IF the cap is charged that it holds a charge and therefore is probably good ? Or are you testing for 0.05 ohms of ESP in the filter caps of an audio amp and giving name to the term "audiophool" ?   > It is amazing they do not teach this. you put a signal to a device - the DUT - and then measure what is does. What is not simple about that ? God damn, I figured out this cap checker witht eh scope thing when I was about 16. ON MY OWN. Fuck Dick Smith. Well not really but you know what I mean. In fact I made a trade with Bob Parker. Some knobs for a Ysamaha receiver for an elcheapo boomerang. Hey, it came back a few times which proved it was not just a stick, but then the kids got ahold of it and it was then a stick. Know what I mean ?   Back then it may have worked with out worry, most likely due to the fact that many square wave generators were not able to generate the raise time like they do today. There ware other things to consider now.   Jamie

The focus pot ran out of range first. Replacing the resistor fixed >it.   The Tek 2235 and its cousins have a fairly common problem show up. The focus chain uses high-value carbon-composition resistors, which tend to shift value with age... the focus pot runs out of range as a result.   I bought a 2235 with this problem at a local flea market for all of $60. An hour's work and a few replacement resistors fixed it.
