DENON AVR-X6500H HAD THE BLINKING RED LIGHT OF DEATH. DID PHYSICAL DAMAGE CAUSE THE ISSUE?

Ғылым және технология

A customer brought this unit in with the complaint of the blinking red light of death. I did get it to act up and I believe it was caused by the speaker leads shorting to the chassis on the jack that had physical damage.

    Thank you for repairing my receiver. Wish I could blame the damage on my kids. It has been working flawlessly since I got it back. Funny that the right and left channel were the problems. I don’t even use those connections. The receiver feeds 2 mono blocks for those channels from the pre-outs. I appreciate how you check the whole system. I knew I sent it to the right person for diagnostic and repair. Thank you again!

    I’m thrilled with my new Denon receivers and so is everyone I’ve recommended to. That’s one hell of a good receiver and totally worth that repair. I swear Denon makes solid gear especially for the value and is really picking up the slack left when Pioneer suddenly vanished from the game.

    Thanks for this one. I have a Denon AVR-X4200W that I've never had to open yet, but I took notes. These are great receivers and this is my third Denon (previous two still work). Glad to see they look to be easy to work on if needed. I loved the trick for measuring the outputs at the channel board, slick!

    You got so hyped about the 2x 15k 73v caps that I went and checked my Denon 5308ci. Sucker has 2x 33k 71v caps for just seven channels so I guess I'm in good shape.

    Haha. Only a pound and a half of hot glue!!!! Next situation like that with the bent in or out sheet metal work, try sandwiching the areas to be re-flattened in some hard wood to keep the sheet more flat and a C-clamp. I was wondering if there would hammering divests, but only saw a couple small in-perceptible ones, good job considering. Can only imaging the customer going Sh!t! when that damage occurred. :) What a beast! Looks like my old Panasonic A/V unit with a little smaller PS. Very nice unit.

    Nice vid as usual.. Many thx :) I have two of yamahas top-models in the same price range (2020 and 3080 Adventage) and they use real heatsinks for regulators and rectifiers and all caps are Nippon and Nichicon (Fine gold) and the powertransfomer is probably twice as big (18-19KG total weight) and left and right channels are separated. Main filtercaps are 18000uf/ 71V. I see Denon uses some ELNA caps here and there but mostly chinese "Koshin" and i have to say for this price i except better parts. And better build. Is going down hill for Denon/ Marantz (and with NAD too..) Best wishes Johan from Finland

    Hi NorCal. Great video! Question: What are the 2 boards that connect the individual amplifier cards together on the opposite side of the heatsink? Just curious what their function is. The receiver is marketed as being a monolithic design, but it seems the individual cards all connect to 2 different cards for the left and right channels. Thanks!

  • @marcdavis8842
    @marcdavis88423 жыл бұрын

    Yeah the 6500H would be around 2nd from top in the lineup so that AMP would have cost around £2K or just over so not cheap ! .and it also looks more or less brand new .those PCBs look more or less fresh with hardly to dust or dirt.To have 250w per channal you would definitely need to have 2 PSU are much larger than that one ! Must be an unusual marketing strategy by Denon . I mean even if that's 250w per channal you would have to run each speaker at 4ohms ..na mistake their . anyways absolutely fantastic video.

    I suspect the reason why that transformer is so small is because the power Amplifiers may have the new highly efficient 5 leads GaN FETs being the drivers in a "Class D" configuration "High Currents" producing very little heat as their efficiencies are in the high nineties, which BTW also have insanely low noise and distortion figures..

    How do you remove remove the board to board connectors on the Denon? The ones in your video just pulled from there base. there are connectors that hold wires right to pins on the board.

    If it is just the WIFI receiver they should be interchangeable, and not need to be programmed to the individual receiver. As far as trying to find one, you will probably have to find someone with a scrap unit to buy parts from.

    Does it shut down with no speakers connected? How about with different speakers? Could be a bad speaker or wiring. The unit senses an overload and shuts down to protect itself.

I connected one speaker to it and there is no audio source connected and when I put the volume up it shut down.

    I repair car amplifiers. I been watching trees receiver repairs because I'm trying to get into a nice home audio set up and just bought a avr-x3400h in protect hoping to fix. Also just bought a monolith 15" but it's way bigger then thought might send it back. But what I would use over hot glue is e6000 glue. It will also melt down but takes higher temps.
