Me again. I have narrowed it down to the tuner board being the problem. With
the tuner card removed, all other functions work, and volume can be turned up as much as I want. Sound like the tuner board was causing the DC at output? Now the problem is replacing it. Pioneer wants $88+shipping for the board (AWE1140). All I have is a RadioShack DMM; no scope or service manual. Thus, I figure my only option is to replace it. Anybody out there have a source that's cheaper? Thanks again, Del I have an older Pioneer VSX-502 receiver that got hit by lightning through the AC line. Everything seems to work, except for the radio tuner. All fuses are ok. I have already replaced the LM7001 chip, and the TC9164N (Pioneer suggests these to be the problem after a strike through the antenna). Still, no radio. I can get a "thumping" sound (oscillation) through the speakers when in AM mode, but nothing in FM. Also, there are two indicators in the dislplay for "tuned" and "stereo". Neither one is lit, except for when the board that contains the LM7001 chip is removed(?), then they both work, but obvivously no radio without the antenna card. One other problem is that when the volume is increased past 1/3 of the way, there is a relay click (overload protect?), and the speakers cut out. Any suggestions welcome. |

Pioneer is the only source for that board.
One of two choices, buy the board, junk the unit, keep the unit and hope for a unit up on Ebay with blown audio outputs, or junk the unit. Of course you could always take the unit into a well equipped, experienced, and trained technician on that type of unit for an estimate to repair to the component level.

Without a schematic and the proper trouble shooting knowledge, your in trouble. But i would guess your sucking down one of the power rails. I would be looking for a shorted cap or diode lowering one of the B+ rails. WIth a bit of load shedding and solder wick, unhook things on the power rail in that module until the rail comes back up to the proper voltage then try to isolate the problem.
