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,Q612,Q613,Q615,Q617 and Multi source muting transistors
Q632,Q633.

DESCRIPTION: At high volume setting with no signal on an un-terminated analogue input,
there maybe some audible residual hum noise and whistling sound coming from one or more
channels.
REASON: The residual noise is coming from power supply ground and DSP board ground.
The whistle noise is coming from the DSP board.
SOLUTION: Remove the DSP board and order a replacement DSP board from our spares
department .Order under the number in the service manual. Perform the following ground
changes to lower residual hum noise.

2. For J705B on AUDIO PCB, cut all the AGND pin. That is pin 1, 3, 9 & 12. Please refer
to figure 2.
