question about jvc receiver
Hi
First time post, long time lurker. I have a jvcRX950v stereo receiver that I have been troubleshooting. the left channel is distorted but comes back in and plays both sides great for 2 hours, then it starts distorting again and basically, it is in and out from there. I have fiddled with a few wires but no go as I suspected to be a short or something. there does not appear to be any burnt parts or anything, and I have tried it with 3 different speaker setups, and now have it on the bench with just headphones. I am getting the same results every time I power it on and still no luck in tracing the problem. any help would be definatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. mike |

I dont think fiddling w/ the wires is gonna get you anywhere...you probable got bad solder or peanut transistor in that channel...freeze spray could help isolate....the biggest advantage you have is that the other channel is fine. Swap suspect parts w/ other channel until problem follows. |
