Hi all,
I'm currently restoring a KEX-M900 which came to me as a dead unit.
So far I recapped the DC to DC converter
Recapped the main board, ASL board and DSP board
The unit now powers up, display is good, all menu's working too.
The problem is the unit has 4 pre outs and I have only one channel with good clean audio.
I would like some pointers on tracing the audio path to see if I can find where it's losing audio signal to the dead channels.
What I know so far-
I've tested 2 audio sources
Cassette working fine
Aux input working fine
Both with the same result - audio on one channel only
The dsp board is labelled FR FL RR RL where it outputs to the main board and into the ASL board, I intercepted the signal off all 4 channels and it's only outputting audio on one channel so I think the problem lies within the DSP board or maybe just before it?
I've come this far so would really like to troubleshoot and find the problem, any help or suggestions appreciated
I have a service manual pdf if required
Thanks in advance

What page is IC703 on?
If you have audio on the output terminals of 764, that's what's important. If the op-amp is working properly, you won't see signal on the inverting input unless you go back to the resistor in series with that input.
Does heating/cooling any of the DACs make a difference?

So is it safe to assume if IC 764 has audio on the output terminals then the problem lies further along the circuit after IC764?
So Perry I did as you suggested and injected signal from 764 to the other 3 DACs and found
761 produced clean audio
762 produced clean audio
763 no audio and it muted the signal from 764.
Looks like 762 is defective, shall I remove it from the circuit and see what happens?
