DESCRIPTION: You may have the complaint that the subwoofer or other channels are
popping when switching inputs or when turning on and off.
REASON: The channel that is popping may have a muting transistor damaged due to an
external source or subwoofer causing static damage to the transistor.
SOLUTION: Replace the transistor and install a 4700 pF capacitor between the base and
collector on the pre amp pc board , as shown in the following two schematics. The use of a
surface mount capacitor is recommended. Placing the capacitor on the bottom of the board
between the base and collector of each muting transistor is preferred . See figure 2 on page 2.
Note: It is recommended to install this capacitor to each channel’s muting transistor.The
following are the designations of the muting transistors, Q608,Q609,Q610,Q611,Q615,Q617.
