Hello John, I can upload the manual if you want, as I did not see it in the index, but this is what I found on it. No power to front panel or speakers. RESOLUTION Replaced TR Q Q753, 754, 705, 706, 755, 756, 605, 606, R756, 753. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unit goes into protect, found IC671 defective, putting dc voltage on load line. RESOLUTION Replaced IC671 on unit and restored unit to normal operation. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unit will go into protect after about 20 sec. RESOLUTION Found +11v on input pin 1 & 2 of IC601. Replaced IC601 and still had some problem. Traced 11v back to IC406, and found that R442 one leg was not soldered in. Resoldered R442 and unit worked fine. This is the first time I've seen this prob. Solder connection was not soldered at factory. Land was bare. May be a 1 time occurance. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unit in speaker protect mode. All audio amplifiers appeard to be working correctly. No overcurrent of DC offset, still system control/IC104 pin 26 was low. When we replaced the CPU the problem was resolved. Input port evidently was cause of problem. RESOLUTION Replace system cotnrol IC104 Thanx, Scott Beebe Ohm Electronics Inc. 609 W.
