Default JVC RX-807V receiver. One channel distorted when SEA is enabled.

As far as I can tell, the components in question are not custom. IC
503 is a standard dual op-amp whose DC output voltages start

half of the signal is clipped.


there are either schematic documentation errors or design errors re
IC 503

The + inputs to IC503 don't appear to have ANY DC connection, all
connections are via caps. The DC voltage on the + inputs is
therefore undefined. This is is either a design error or a
documentation error. If DC voltage is being set by the the cap
leakage, then that is your problem. Use a 100K connected to a
variable DC supply and see if you can't move the DC voltage to the
correct value. If you can, then you should be able to figure out the
rest.

I was wondering the same thing! I will check and report back to you.

Thanks for your reply.


Your suggestion of adding some dc voltage to the + inputs led me to this
webpage:
http://www.radio-electronics.com/inf...-inverting.php

There is a section there called: *AC coupling the non-inverting op-amp
circuit.Using that guide, I added 100k resistors from the + inputs to ground
and now the DC doesn't go above 20mV. I also noticed that whoever worked on
that pc board before replaced many of the caps. Most of the replacements
involved changing the 4.7番 values to 10番 values. I will replace those with
the original values.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

wow a design error then.

glad i could help
