Need help with Marantz 6000 output terminals

fred gunn · 21st March 2011, 04:35 AM

Hi there

Fred from Adelaide, South Australia. This is my first post, and sorry it's already one that's asking for help rather than offering any.

I have a CD 6000 OSE LE which has been ailing for a while - the right channel of the player's analogue output terminal (where you connect it to the amp via interconnects) has gone bad, probably through too much plugging and unplugging of the interconnects. There's no sound/signal unless pressure is put on it from a certain direction.

I reckon the output unit needs to be changed. It this something that could be easily diy-ed at home? Would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction of getting the correct part and replacing the defective one. I've thought of getting it fixed in a service centre but unfortunately Adelaide doesn't have one.

Would be most appreciative of any feedback.

TQ.

Hi, Sounds like the RCA connector has broken off from the pad of the pcb.
Just resolder it and you are back in business.

Hi Singa (lion? panthera leo?)

Thanks so much for the reply. Not sure if it has completely broken off. It only affects the right channel though. And when some pressure is applied, say, with a rubber-band) the sound comes back. Thanks, matey.

I agree... most likely the soldering has cracked. Only one way to find out

Also just make sure the lead/plug itself is OK.

Just my 2c worth ...

The connectors on most Marantz cd players are rubbish !!
The "gold plating" is only on the outside of the ground so is almost worthless.

If you are "going in" , it might be an idea to completely remove the rubbishy Marantz connector and replace them with individual sockets. It's a simple job and the results will be worthwhile for the sake of an hours time, a yard of wire and a couple of sockets.

PS:- Possibly Singa as in Singapore, the Lion city.

Having just joined the forum and posted a thread describing almost exactly this same problem, I'm very interested in this thread.

How easy is it to do this solder repair? (baring in mind I'm a bit ham fisted when it comes to soldering...lol)
