RCA CTC203
Hi!
Has anyone ever figured out what causes this set to loose sound and you unplug it and plug it back in the sound is back? Vince |

Vince,
This has been an "over-active" subject on this very newsgroup for the last month. Do a google groups archive search, you should find quite a few relevant threads just a week or two old. -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Vince" wrote in message ...

RCA CTC203
Thomson Technical Assist tells us it is normal, that they are working of a
fix for it, and that it has been a symptom or RCA/GE since the early CTC-19X series of chassis. There are a few viable workarounds including jumping a cap from a certain spot to ground but that disables other features designed into these sets, inclusive of the Guide Plus and Closed Caption.

I found a bad solder at the base of the input transistor in the muting multivibrator of a Ge with no audio. Just like this symptom it muted randomly and it would work after being unplugged. Might be unrelated. A*s*i*m*o*v .... Which sparks some mnemonic circuitry. |

According to several posters here and the clients that I have done it for,
the cap fix may not disable the guide functions. I does seem to disable the CC. Leonard "Art" wrote in message ...

Leonard It depends on the specific chassis, system control, and Gemstar application that is in the set. Some of the designs, it disables the entire set of features, others just the CC. All of us who have been dealing with this issue since the late 90's when Gemstar first started showing up in the Thomson tv sets are all aware of the many different design implementations. David |
