HELP! with Pioneer SX-253R AKA Optimus STA-3180
Hi!
Do you have a manual for this unit? I have the Pioneer branded/made unit and I'd like to know more about operating it. There are some buttons I do not understand the function of. I'd also like to see a mapping of the display in the unit. The reply-to is valid and works after obvious repairs...or if not, let me know and I'll tell you what to do. William |

Sounds easy... how can I test this without the schematic.

There could well be other parts bad though.... Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless. "Ronald W.

You can measure with an ohmmeter or visually trace the connections from the
collector of an output transistor (the center of the three solder pads) to each of the outputs on the other channel. Each one will be connected directly to the its equivalent on the other channel via a foil-run and / or jumpers. Or you can look at the two main filter caps. One will have the positive side ungrounded - that goes to the NPN collectors of the outputs. That cap which has the negative lead ungrounded makes that connection to the PNP outputs' collector. This applies to your model, but is not totally consistent across brands. Marantz for example would sometimes connect power to the emitter leads, and even place emitter resistors in the collector leg of the circuit. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group.

Hi!
There's really only button I'm curious about--the RETURN button. I can see that it kicks off the "Super Bass" setting, but beyond that I don't know what it does. I'm working on figuring out how to store stations 11+, but that's more of a curiousity than anything else. I only need the first three station presets. I have noticed that the display face has some colons (indicating a clock perhaps? If so, how?) and some stuff for RDS. Do these features exist or are they for other models? William |

The Return button cancels all user settings, wipes the station memory, and
returns it to the factory "out-of-box" condition. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless. "William R.
