AVR430/AVR630 harman/kardon

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and

semiconductor "chip" components.

The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on

your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,

which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to

prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges

sufficient to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement

ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the

chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

CAUTION :

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together

or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing.

Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the

parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably

insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

AVR430/AVR630 harman/kardon

Before returning the unit to the user, perform the following safety checks :

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that

leads are not pinched or that hardware is not

lodged between the chassis and other metal

parts in the unit.

2. Be sure that any protective devices such as

nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish-

papers, cabinet backs, adjustment and

compartment covers or shields, isolation

resistor-capacity networks, mechanical

insulators, etc. Which were removed for the

servicing are properly re-installed.

3. Be sure that no shock hazard exists ; check for leakage

current usingSimpson Model 229 Leakage Tester,standard

equipment item No. 21641, RCA Model WT540A or use

alternate method as follows : Plug the power cord directly

Into a 120 volt AC receptacle (do not use an Isolation

Transformer for this test). Using two clip leads, connect a

1500 ohms,10watt Resistor paralleledby a 0.15uF capacitor, inseries with all exposedmetal cabinet partsand a known earth ground,such

as a water pipe or conduit. Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohms per volt, or higher sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the

resistor. (See diagram) Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal,

cabinet, screwheads, knobsand controlshafts, escutcheon,etc.) andmeasure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. (Thistest shouldbe

performed withthe 0.35 voltRMS or moreis excessive andindicates a potentialshock hazard whichmust be correctedbefore returning the

unit to the owner.

4) Unplug each the cable on the Bias PCB, desolder the female plugs, cut the connectors off each wire, strip the insulation 1/8” on each end and solder directly to the PCB assembly in each location.

5) For locations N801, N802, N803, N804 on the Main PCB, set the unit on its side and remove the bottom grille. (See Figure 2) Deso lder and remove each connector. Cut the connectors off each wire, strip the insulation 1/8” on each end and solder directly to the PCB assembly in each location.

6) For location P805 (see Figure 1) on the Main PCB, unplug the cable, carefully cut away the female plug with diagonal cutters on the PCB surface, leaving the three conductors intact. Cut the connector off each wire, strip the insulation 1/8” on each end, slide a piece of shrink tubing on each conductor and solder each wire directly to the three conductors on the PCB. Heat the shrink tubing to complete the connection, and add some silicon seal or similar adherent to affix the wires on the PCB.

7) Replace the DSP and Processor boards

8) Recheck all bias voltages, following the instructions below:

MAIN AMP IDLE CURRENT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (Set variable resistors for MAIN/SURROUND Board)

Specialized equipment/parts needed: Variable AC transformer (“Variac” type) to adjust and monitor AC line voltage. Two pin harness plug to connect DMM to idle current test points, hk part# 55212910NR or equivalent

Conditions: No Signal; No Load AC Line Voltage adjust to: 120V/60Hz (120v model) or 230V/50Hz (230v model)

After turning the unit ON for 25 minutes or more to keep the Power/Driver TR at normal temperature, adjust the DC voltage at the two pin connector to the specified value by rotating the variable resistors. VR71-74 are located on the Bias PCB’s. P801-804 are located on the main PCB just below the Bias PCB’s. To guide/seat the two pin harness plug into the sockets, you may have to attach the harness wire to a long blade screwdriver as P801-803 are in a deep recess.

Troubleshooting tips and solutions to common service problems

TIP# HKTT2004-03

Isolating audio problems in an AVR receiver

Using 6/8 Direct In

The following charts are used to help the tech quickly isolate audio problems in an AVR receiver. Use the following procedures to help find what is working, then to quickly locate the problem area.

Equipment needed:

9 1 set of (RCA) Y adaptors. 9 Function/signal generator. 9 Oscilloscope.

Procedure:

1) Do a factory reset of the receiver. (This will eliminate any common micro processor problems.) Reset List can be found in this service manual.

2) Print the block diagram from the service manual.

3) With no inputs or speakers attached to the AVR turn on the receiver and turn the volume all the way down.

4) Turn unit off.

5) Hook up an oscillator to the 6/8 Direct in jacks using the Y adaptors. Adjust the oscillator to about 0db (.775Volts RMS).

6) Hook up an oscilloscope to monitor the line out jacks. Or, if there are no line out (preamp out) jacks monitor the input to the power amps or the speaker outs. (AVR125, 225, 130 do not have preamp out jacks)

7) Turn the AVR on. Select 6 or 8 direct in, depending on the receiver.

8) Slowly turn the volume control up until you can easily measure the voltage at the line out jacks. ( -40 to -25db )

Isolating audio problems in an AVR receiver

Using 6/8 Direct In

9) At this point you will be able to check and assure all output levels are the same.

10) IF THE OUTPUT LEVELS ARE NOT THE SAME you will need to use the charts to see where you are losing your signal. The chart shows the analog signal flow from the input jacks to the output jacks.

11) If the output levels are the same check the power out stage at the speaker out jacks.

12) If you find the levels at the speaker out jacks are OK, your problem will be in the DSP part of the receiver.

Congratulations! You have now eliminated 90% of the electronics in the AVR and confirmed that the problem is in the DSP section.

STOP! Go no further. At this point
