Pioneer SX-780

[aaronlubelski]

Does anybody have the schematics of the PIONEER receiver SX-780?
After a long night of operation the relay is not engaged and of course no audio.

You don't need a schematic.

99% chance it is the solder joints on the 15V regulator transistor.

Thanks for the tip, it help me to probably pinpoint the problem

It was very close, actually one of the power regulator transistors failed, the DT12 type. I have to get a replacement and then will see. Anyway a schematics would help.

many thanks, Aaron

I know there is a website known as "schematic for free",but just cant remember the actual website address

aaronlubelski, Leolabs,

I know 2 web sites.
1. http://www.eserviceinfo.com/ - they have lots of service manuals and so on....
2. http://www.schematicsforfree.mattsoft.net/ - they have some service manulas too.. and also more circuits!

Hope i helped!

I will try to find my service manual for that model.
But I cannot make any promises if I still have it.ok.
just give me some time to look for it.

Thanks to all for the help, I am making progress.

I do have fixed the 13 v regulator and then the SX-780 started working.

There are additional 2 regulators giving +/- 50 volt, I guess this is wrong and they are failing.

Does any of you know what should be their voltage?

Still looking for schematics/manual. That would help. I could not find them in the sites offered.

Thanks a lot anyway.

Aaron,

Hello! I can't remeber the voltages there.
Its really been a while since the last time I work on that
model. I am still looking for the service manual of that
model. I know I have that but I can't remember where did
I put it.
I will ask my technicians maybe its on my old filing cabinet.
