I have a Sansui R-7 receiver which works fine except that when the power is
turned off there is usually a fairly loud click from the speakers. Does not seem to be loud enough to harm the speakers, but certainly annoying, and not at all what I would consider normal. This is a low to mid power receiver which I'm guessing is from the late 80's. It is an instant-on unit with no relays. There was a place for a capacitor accross the power switch, but none was ever installed. I added a ..01 disc there, but that did not help. Following wires from the line cord thru the switch to the power transformer, I do not see any other line conditioning or surge suppression. I can't believe it always had this problem. Any ideas as to the cause? Thanks, Paul |

The easiest way to fix this, is to switch off the speakers before
turning the set on. If you are innovative enough, you an design and build a relay circuit using a turn on time delay circuit. The speaker path can be through the relay contacts. This way, when you turn the set on, the relay can have a 2 or 3 second delay. -- Jerry G. "Paul" satellite65no@spamyahoo wrote in message ...

Both replies indicate that this is normal operation, not a defect. I
find that hard to believe. If bought new and it had this problem, I think that most people would take it back for a refund. Anyway, I thank those who took the time to reply. (BTW Jerry, since it happens at shutdown, not startup, I would need to add an anticipation circuit, not a delay circuit ;-) Paul |

I was looking through the service manual and noticed that the amplifier IC has a delay feature built into the chip itself. Perhaps it is possible that this type of circuit could go bad, but the amplifer would keep operating? Just a thought. |
