Yamaha AVC-50 schematic PLEASE!
Yamaha has totally ignored my 3 requests to provide a schematic (someone
claimed they charge you $18 anyway). Yamaha audio sets are not in Sams. Someone suggested I checked the crystal (remote receiver not operating). I don't believe an IR receiver uses a crystal. Surely, someone has a schematic for this set. I will be glad to pay costs, of course. Thanks for any and all help. I'm stuck without a schematic. Regards, Dave |

Ignoring requests? How are you contacting them? Call 800-292-2982 and get
to parts/service. I never have any problems with Yamaha. Leonard "Pgonshor" wrote in message ...

They have not responded to four requests for information from their website.
So, I took your advice and called them. They can provide the schematic for $18. Kinda steep if you ask me. Dave |

Obviously you don't buy many manuals.
mz $18. Kinda steep if you ask me. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless. "Pgonshor" wrote in message ...

So true, Mark. That Pioneer SD-P50A5K manual that I need is about a hundred
bucks. Yamaha is one of the more reasonable manufacturers. $18 is the retail price, too. Leonard. "Mark D. Zacharias" wrote in message ... Obviously you don't buy many manuals. mz $18.

Used to be you could go to your local library, look it up in Sams and get it
for the price of a few sheets on a copy machine. A hundred buck is unreasonable, and so is 18 bucks to save something that is worth less than that. Dave |

Libraries are supposed to police such copying. Not that they usually do,
though. More and more of our service literature is downloaded on PDF's or some other electronic media. The manufacturers simply feel that running a publishing business is an expense, not a profit-center. Blame the "Low Wal-Mart Price" mentality for this. If not for this, your AVC-50 would be worth well over the 18.00. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless.

No need to print it these days, just point to it on your website. The reason they don't do this is to restrict access to the information so that they *can* charge the big bucks...and to encourage folks to ditch their old gear and buy new. jak "Pgonshor" wrote in message ...
