Thanks for your reply. I actually found someone that has an xl-mk500 and a
25 foot audio/control cable for it and they will sell it to me for 20. Now
I'll have one complete system and another changer for another car and I'll
eb able to make a cable for it. I'll just need a head unit to control it.
Thanks again,

Innes

Hi,

If anyone has the JVC XL-MK500 (6 disc auto changer for car), I would
greatly appreciate information pertaining to the control cable that runs
from this unit to a suitable head unit. Thanks.

Hi,

I've got a JVC XL-MK500 6 disc automatic changer and an appropriate JVC
head
unit to go with it. The problem is that I don't have the cable(s)
toconnect
the two together. Besides the usual connections on a standalone head unit
this one has an 8 pin DIN connector as well as a pair of RCA's labelled
"LINE OUTPUT (REAR)", bundled with the RCA's are a brown as well as a blue
coded wire. The cd changer has a 13 pin DIN connector for control and a
three pin power connector. I'm not really concerned with what all the
signals are, I just need to know the cable specs to go between the two.
If
anyone has the XL-MK500 auto disc changer or compatible (that they know
of),
could you describe the cables going from it to the head for me? Then I
can
make one up. Thanks a lot.

Innes

Much better!
JVC and Denon did have a 13 pin to 8 pin cable.
Some models required a shorting plug at the CD power
connector in the changer, some required the power
cable instead.
(which was what?)
I have no records of them from that time and have to
figure out each one we see as we see them.
I do have one each of the different connect/cable/adapt
however the part numbers are not with the 8-13 cable
which is what you need most.
The head unit KS-RT600 is what I use but any JVC
with 8 pin or 13 pin CD connector will work.
Some denon 13 pin may but not all.

I have a sony trintiron 13'' TV. unfortunately I don't know the year.
for
some reason I can't get any channel above 47 on it while about 100
channels
are available when another TV is connected to the same cable. in
addition
the problem still remaines when the problematic sony is connected to
anyother cable. Of course I've tried reprogramming the TV but that
doesn't
work. it doesn't even receive the higher channels when they are
specifically
typed into the remote, just static.

I wonder if anyone has any advice on what the problem may be and how
to
fix
it aside from getting a new TV.


Thank you very much,
Adam

That's probably as high as that set was designed to go. I do not know
the
age of the set, but the older the set, the less cable channels they were
designed to receive. You can either use a cable box, or a cheaper route
is
to use the tuner in any half way modern VCR to get the higher channels.
Then
just leave your tv on whatever channel the VCR is set to output at, and
change channels with the VCR tuner.

Hey Guys,

I have a VS-45VA1 that came in with the typical dark video with low
sync.
After replacing the caps on the PIP module and rebuilding the faulty
traces,
I noticed a slight horizontal pincushion problem. I thought I could
adjust
it out but cant.

The controls on the PCC board all work, so the board is working fine. I
just cant get out the Bow. Must be a fault in the reference coming from
the
horizontal. Any one know of a quick check or have seen a similar
problem?

Thanks Chris.

If you have access to say one of those guitar amps , dosen't have to be too
fancy or powerfull.. then just make up a probe [be shure to use a blocking
capacitor in series] and probe arround starting from the output... I have
found problems very easily useing this methode..
It's a little easier than useing the ole scope.. But if your good with the
scope.. and inject a tone into the amp of your unit you can find the
distortions easily as well.
Good luck on it...

I have done a pretty thorough visual inspection. Don't see any bad
solder
at
the speaker terminals. No obvious burn marks or smells. I really
don't
think
the receiver is worth the effort to fix unless it's something fairly
simple,
which it apparently isn't. I am, however, going to go through the
boards
one
more time with a magnifying glass to see if there's something I
missed.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Most of the time, a problem like this has no visual indications. A
transistor or cap can be defective without any outward signs of a
problem.
Something you might want to try is tapping on the board lighting with
the
end of something plastic, like the reverse end of an ink pin, while
the
amp
is on. See if you hear the noise problem change. A bad solder joint
could
be
just about anywhere on the board, not just at the speaker connections,
and
cause the problem. If you have limited abilities at troubleshooting,
then
it's true, you will have to make a judgement call on whether it's
worth
repairing or not. But, if your interested in learning more about
electronics, this amp would make a nice place to start.

Yes, I swapped speakers. I also moved the set over to the B
speaker
terminals. Guess what? Same problem.

Then it's time to start trouble shooting. No particular "common
part"
is
the cause of that problem. Any switch on the front of that unit
can
have
dirty contacts and cause static. Be sure to try them all to see if
they
have
an effect, including the tone controls. They all have seperate
contacts
for
each channel. If it's not the switches, then I would check the
board
for
any
bad solder joints. After that, it requires basic troubleshooting
skills,
a
few basic pieces of test gear, and some basic electronic skills.
By
the
way,
what does this static sound like? Is it like a hiss, or is it a
frying
sound? A frying sound tend to point one toward a bad
transistor(s)
in
the
output stage. Maybe you could explain the sound a little better.

Tip for your old computer (reduce discard pollution too):

If you can't sell your old computer, don't throw it away. Use it to
backup
your software by transferring files/folders from your new computer or
laptop
to it. I transferred my Windows folder and other stuff to my old computer
using "PC Link", which I downloaded from www.simtel.net (cool site).

Under determinism, all events could, in principle, be described
with algorithms, at least on the local level. This seems to me
to be true, though I have no rigorous proof. Thus the universe
itself could be considered isomorphic to some formal system.
If that is true, then a deterministic Universe is either
inconsistent or incomplete in the same sense as whatever formal

No algorithm can ever be shown to be infinitely accurate as to
predicting outcomes. This is both obvious because of subjective
phenomenology and because of Goedel's Incompleteness,

Nonsense. Goedel has nothing to do with the ability of an *accurate*
prediction. Goedel, essentially says, that to have for example, a TOE,
it will consist of a number of separate axioms, that are not derivable
from anything else. i.e. You have to accept the underpinnings of your

Nonsense. You truncated the part that makes this obvious, quit being
a disingenuous piece of self-serving shit!

You, however, are not referring to physical time, but something
else, where the rules wait in an eternal timelessness for the
moment of creation, in a manner of speaking. I am not convinced
that time can exist without events, though, just as some have
claimed that space cannot exist without matter. If a rule
of logic exists in the void, but there is no one there to think
about it, does it really exist at all?
----------------------------------
Time is NOT a continuum! Time is strictly subjective, it exists

How about telling us whats wrong with the unit, it might be a well known
fault. Theres plenty of people in this NG who have repaired many Pioneer
cd players who could also assist as well. I have seen relatively little go
wrong with
Pioneer home cd stackers as far as the circuitry is concerned, its quite
often
been a case of a problem with the optical pickup/worn spindle motor or some
other silly
mechanical problem (just gen servicing) or maybe a mechanical alignment
problem.

Does anyone know a source for the service manual (or at least circuit)
for this set? I have been unable to trace any information on this or
similar sets or the manufacturer.

It's a colour portable, VHF/UHF, with A/V in and out. The symptoms
(low EHT and HT and excessive supply drain) suggest something
overloading the line output stage, but nothing seems to be amiss.
Could the LOPT be faulty? And if so, where would I get a new one?

I have a sony trintiron 13'' TV. unfortunately I don't know the year. for
some reason I can't get any channel above 47 on it while about 100
channels
are available when another TV is connected to the same cable. in addition
the problem still remaines when the problematic sony is connected to
anyother cable. Of course I've tried reprogramming the TV but that doesn't
work. it doesn't even receive the higher channels when they are
specifically
typed into the remote, just static.

I wonder if anyone has any advice on what the problem may be and how to
fix
it aside from getting a new TV.


Thank you very much,
Adam

That's probably as high as that set was designed to go. I do not know the
age of the set, but the older the set, the less cable channels they were
designed to receive. You can either use a cable box, or a cheaper route is
to use the tuner in any half way modern VCR to get the higher channels. Then
just leave your tv on whatever channel the VCR is set to output at, and
change channels with the VCR tuner.

As for the first cause argument, it is not complete. The burden,
then, is on you to prove that finite time implies a first cause and
that the existence of one first cause implies that we are each first
causes which is where free will comes from. The fact is that a first
cause is only required if time is finite AND linear. The reason time
is even thought to be finite is for the same reason space is thought
to be finite, namely because it is not linear. And even if there is
a first cause, it seems entirely likely that we are not ourselves
uncaused causes, anyway.

It was not my intention to try to establish the truth of the Liberty
of the Will in that argument, but rather to cast doubt on the Doctrine
of Necessity.

I thank you for bringing up the issue of non-linear finite but
unbounded time. That, I did not consider at the time. The reason I
had not considered it is that the current state of our knowledge
leads me to the conclusion that the universe will not collapse in on
itself, but rather expand indefinitely. This result could change, of
course.

One thing that I had not really thought about is that the oscillating,
finite but unbounded, non-linear timeline, when wedded with the
Doctrine of Necessity, leads to Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence.
So, we would have, in this cosmology, a timeline that continually
repeated the same set of causes and effects eternally.

It does not have to repeat. It could be a random oscillator.

I was assuming, for the sake of argument, the truth of the Doctrine
of Necessity, or determinism, if you prefer. But if the same set of
events doesn't endlessly repeat, I doubt that the timeline can be
considered a finite path anyway.

Jeff,

It's a model 2120. It does have a pre-amp output, but I didn't test it. I'm
not really sure what I need to do.

Ok, if it has preamp output is it OK?
DC voltage across output when noisy?
Model? (strange the headphone would be OK)
Unless its only distorted/noisy when loaded.

Yes, I swapped speakers. I also moved the set over to the B speaker
terminals. Guess what? Same problem.

Yes, I do have sound in the bad channel. I think the best way to
describe
it
is that it sounds like a radio station that's not tuned in properly.
It's
staticy and garbled.

I was just reading the post about the marantz receiver static
problem.
Mine's slightly different, in that it goes away when I turn the
balance
all
the way left, and my headphones work fine. I cleaned every
conceivable
contact and circuit and still have the static. The receiver's 32
years
old
so I am suspecting something has died or fried along the way.
anyone
have
any ideas?


Lot's of possibilities. Dirty or worn speaker switch contacts,
bad
relay
(if the old amp uses one) contacts, dried up caps, leaky
transistors.
Headphones require very little power to produce sound, so some
problems
in
the output stage might not show up when using them. By the way,
do
you
have
sound through the bad channel along with the static, or just
static?
