Marantz cd6000 faulty

barry.childs · 29th June 2010, 08:30 AM

Hi, I have a Marantz cd6000 ki. It has cracked open a diode in the power supply circuit and the transformer is running hot. There is no display and no sound. I suspect a reg or transistor or poss cap. Can anyone help as I cannot plug it in to check anything. Just need an idea of where to look! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Barry

It was an Arcam last time around wasn't it

It would be a big help to see a circuit, however without you need to to first see what the diode feeds directly... cap, regulator etc which you suspect.
I take it one end of the diode goes to the mains tranny, in othe words just a normal rectifier application.
Take the diode out and read on ohms across the cap it feeds... you never know what that might show... probably nothing but it has to be done.
There's a 70% chance that just replacing the diode and electroylitic and reg assuming that's what it feeds will fix it. Any 1amp diode should be OK to fit as a test such as IN4004 etc.

Edit... remembered this thread... not quite the same model but no display... is it the same diode of the PSU ?
Marantz CD5000 - display very dull - help?

Hi Mooly, I'm glad you remembered. It is a simple circuit from the transformer. There are 4 diodes, 8 caps and a pair of regulators for -12 and +12. Unless of course it is whatever they are feeding that's at fault. Iv'e replaced the diode, but still the trany is hot and nothing works. I will get new regs and check the caps tomorrow and let you know how I get on. Cheers Barry

Could happen to be ROASTED the trany . May a thin wire that brings power to the crystal display ,to be burned ,or not ...that is the question !
I would check the secondaries before desoldering anything else...
well ,at least only one leg a diode

I hope it's not the trany. I'm too scared to try it. I did replace it to start with, with a trany from a cd67 and that didn't work. I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable but not certain. The ki has a pretty toroid which I would have a job replacing I think.

Trannys are pretty tough... until the insulation melts it will survive. Take the diodes out, see if the tranny still gets hot.

4 diodes wired as a bridge ? replace all 4 and all electroylitic caps they feed together with the regs.

Manual from here,

I have ordered new diodes, regs, caps and transistors (there are four very near the diodes) from RS. Should get them tomorrow when I will report back. Cheers Barry.

OK

The manual from the above link is free... have a look. You just need to register.

barry.childs · 30th June 2010, 07:49 AM

That's great Mooly, I will be able to check the transformer voltages now as well. I will wait until I have fitted the other bits, then I will refit the trani but only wire the mains side. I can then check the other side before connecting. Yippy!

Well I swapped a load of stuff and now it works. Thanks everyone. Next problem is a bit weird. When I open or close the drawer, it only moves a little bit. There is nothing stuck in there and the gearing all looks ok. It's as if it is being told to do that! Any theories welcome.
