That audio effect is awesome!, it added all kinds to your voice!

[@crumplezone1]

Nice Darlek sounds at the end 12volt :)

CHAK THE DIMER BUTEN IF IT IS ON DIM

Why did the Capacitor kiss the Diode?? ... He just couldn't Resistor. :D

[@MrChrisRP]

Why are you assuming their genders? :-P

[@jacobanderson1891]

But your videos have sure helped solve our problems with this equipment. My mom recently brought home a Sanyo DVD player and a Philips Magnavox VCR model no. VRX363. It’s a really good unit, but it didn’t load properly. Yes, it was the mode switch. After a good clean, it works great! I always have enjoyed fixing these things, so I always was familiar with them, but before finding you, I would’ve never guessed it was the mode switch. You’re equipping me with knowledge I can use on future projects. Thank you.

Holy shit wow, i just bought this exact receiver for 40 bucks at a flea Market. It goes into protection whenever you turn it on right after you turn it on. I watched your older video on repairing old rav models where you repaired a couple wiggly solder joints and it worked like a dream, i hope it's not blown.

[@MrThunderhaze007]

Great video makes me want to go to a thrift store to buy and amplifier just to work on...

[@pauldionne2884]

I put an old AVR in my garage and I love it. With small speakers mounted high on the walls I can hear it all over even at background levels. Picked up a cheap 5 disc CD player also so between that and FM have enough sources to keep the tunes coming when I'm hanging out.

[@12voltvids]

I just picked up another 200 disk changer

[@pauldionne2884]

@@12voltvids Awesome! I've been thinking about those CD Juke boxes too.

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Yeah the dimming feature is very commonly overlooked. Night cinema and dimming are nice for late late night viewing. My RX-v1500 still going strong. Encoder cleaned out and now it is just fine. I just use an external hdmi switch.

[@kyoudaiken]

Nice service. Hope this thing lasts forever. I also noticed the sound was weird in the introduction. :D

[@Jammerk40]

Yeah I like Onkyo also! I have a TR-NR676 very nice receiver and powerful! But boy do they put out some heat!

[@neilhamill318]

Customer would have to be happy that the three issues have been rectified. I was. 👍

[@Barbarapape]

Yamaha made some good sounding receivers, but repairing them is no fun. I have a top of the range DSP-A2070 which developed a corrupt display, after a lot of dismantling, i found that the memory backup capacitor had leaked onto the i/c below it, badly corroding the chip pins. A new capacitor and i/c fixed it, but this one is a heavy beast, and a nightmare to work on. I was lucky to find an i/c, spares for these older models are impossible to find if they are specific to Yamaha.

[@jacobanderson1891]

The volume button on our living room TV remote always gets clogged with that gunk! I’ve cleaned it probably 4 times. Another unit saved by you though!

[@JD-lk7im]

Change the small value capacitors on that display driver to improve brightness.The originals are tiny but there is enough room on the track side to tack on the new larger cased poly caps.

[@The_Mental_Christian]

I have a Yamaha RX-V496 5.1 channel with Dolby Digital and DTS; Love it even though I have to use the toslink for sound. Yamaha had really good processor chips.

[@elvinechevarria8079]

Those Yamaha remote are expensive no easy to found.

[@draganlalkovic567]

36:33 interesting sound

[@killmore75]

Sounds like a burnt out channel!

[@zx8401ztv]

It's a real shame when those displays wear out, special to the device and impossible to get. They should have all been on a 2 minute timer that dims them.

[@JD-lk7im]

Some displays go dim due to bad, small value capacitors on the driver circuit.

[@MD1969]

Hello ! I just want to ask ,yours receivers after use for 4-5 hours is hot under power transformer,i have rx v1600 and is hot,is normal ?

[@jamienoel]

There are various products you can buy now, one simply named "Keypad Fix" to recoat the carbon tabs. Haven't tried any yet, so I don't know how well they work.

[@12voltvids]

Used it before. Works, but is expensive because once you open it, you have to use it up because it won't last.

[@ctrlzyx2]

It flakes off after a while. If you put it on too thick the flakes can make the connection. But used sparingly it can salvage an old remote for a bit.

[@jessede1970]

Yamaha's are the best!

[@12voltvids]

They are good. Till they break. Then they are a pain in the ass. My next av receiver will likely be a Yamaha. At least their receivers are better than their motorcycles! I had one and it was the biggest piece of shit I have ever ridden.

[@ElectoneGuy]

Was he running a vacuum cleaner from that convenience outlet?😂

[@12voltvids]

Compressor!

[@Giblet535]

I hate VFDs. Why didn't Nakamichi make spares for flagship decks?

[@12voltvids]

Nakamichi went tits up. Bankrupt. The company doesn't exist. So, no company to make spares. That is generally what happens when they throw in the towel. They don't give a rats ass what happens to the users that have been orphaned. Its too bad so sad. Sucks to be you.

[@MrChrisRP]

"Let's tell them .8 amp ability, and put 10 amp fuse so we don't get this thing returned under warranty by all the idiots." hahahahahah

[@12voltvids]

Well this guy drew more than 10 amps!

[@vfdffdd2675]

Rav1400 have problem also with 5v reg

[@greengrayradio1394]

Good repair, weak VFD due to many hours, probably. But what happened to your audio the last minute? You sound like a heavy smoker :)

[@12voltvids]

Playing with the filters on the editor.

@28:49 it could also be jizz... :-) BTW, why not use alcohol to clean the board and then wipe it off? I know alcohol is bad for the rubber pad, but it's better for the board itself than tap water
