      I used your video to test and repair a Denon avr-x1300w. it was almost identical problem. I am just a novice hobbiest. Can you tell me why when I get to the bias adjustment, it is reading 187mv when other channels are reading 2.4-2.8? I replaced D2390 65 P, B1560 65 P, qty 2 - 4.7ohm and qty 2 - .47ohm resistors. The unit powers on now! only thing different I can see on the parts I replaced is the D2390 has a 54 P instead of 65 P, same with the B1560 has a 54 P instead of a 65 P. Will that cause the bias to be so far off?

    I had a AVR-x2200w that did the same. Right when it would say “main zone on” it would switch off. I found a manual online and found “protection disable” mode and tried it. It’s been working great for a long time. Although I should probably not run it in that mode being that if something goes wrong I may end up with fried components

    Hi, I have a 4200w with the same issue. I've identified 2 or 3 resistors that have blown, but I'm having trouble working out if the transistors are OK. It seems going red to the middle and black to the outer legs works for every other transistor. Then for the ones between I go black to middle and red to outer and I get a 490 to 620 reading ( same as the others with switched leads) does this mean they're OK and just every other transistor is soldered differently or that every other transistor is broken?

I am NOT about to take my receiver apart and attempt to do anything with it internally because, I'm not a technician and I don't have the testing equipment that's needed, nor the knowledge to do it. I'll take it to a certified repair shop and get an estimate. If it costs too much, then I'll just buy a new one. This guy is obviously a tech geek, a professional who has the experience and the knowledge to repair electronics. It's not for the novice, so I'll leave it to a professional who knows what they're doing. A person can't learn to perform a brain or a heart surgery from watching UA-cam videos! You'll have to go to Med school and study for numerous years to become a medical specialist.

    This video should be titled "Denon receivers are junk, don't buy them". I bought a S540BT just over two years ago and this started happening. Apparently, this is super common with these POSs. And this crap thing didn't even put out decent sound.

    But once you open up a Denon receiver you open up a can of worms because there are a million and one jacks that you have to disconnect and 30 million screws and you don't have any access to the bottom so you have to take everything out of the case in order to service it just like all the modern receivers these companies have screwed the service techs it's not like the vintage equipment you can open up the bottom and get access to the circuit board all this new stuff you got to rip it completely apart in order to service it and then if you get a service contract with these people they want you to do it for peanuts that's why a lot of technicians don't want to do service contracts with these companies because they want you to do it for next to nothing there and then when people complain that they don't have their equipment back it's because the companies have not sent the parts and the parts have not been made yet and I think it's the technicians fault want to new receiver goes down 9 times out of 10 when you bring it to the technician to be fixed the technician is waiting for the parts and the reason why he's waiting for the parts it's because the company has not produced them yet you tried to tell the customer that and the customer doesn't want to hear it they want their stuff now and then when I usually do with that turn around when I tell them I'll put it back together I'll hand it to you and then you go fight with the company the only thing I can do is order the parts if the parts are not available I have to wait until they are you call up the company and you yell at them don't yell at me yell at them
