I have the M-790 manual,what's your fax # ???

The PCB's(front and rear) including the outputs can be purchased from
Pioneer if they are still available. 800-457-2881
Front rwz3697, $33.54
Rear rwz3698, $33.54

Remember to always discharge(bleed resistor)
the B+ and B- Voltages when your turn it off.

Manual says before performing Idle Current or operating Temperature
of Fan Motor adjustments,
Short the Blow Trigger Shorting Pin (CN7504 AKC-113 Blow Trig) of
the Front Assembly to prevent the protection IC from malfuctioning.
