Hints & tips
!
To isolate a fault between pre and power stage remove C602 (left channel) or C702 (right
channel).
!
Always check and re-solder o/p device SAP15N and SAP15P pin connections.
!
Replace Z900 IC if software version is below version 3 ( note version 82 is also ok ).
!
Make sure R127 is not touching LK130.
!
When replacing the top cover with a new top it may be necessary to re-drill the fixing holes.
