Top 20 Rotel RX-950AX Receiver Questions & Answers

If the Unit Powers On then most probably the Fuses could have gone bad You will be able to replace the Main Fuse yourself but REPLACE WITH THE SAME KIND OF FUSE in terms of RATING

Stab in the dark here, but I don't see any screws in the main board in the left rear viewed from the front. I have a dead one here. Standby light only. I'm guessing relay unless I am looking in the wrong place for the missing *****. Please advise.

IC901 12volt regulator is defective, may test good but change it.

there would be life in the old girl it just depends how much you love her and how much you are willing to spend to get her fixed ?? some old rotels are still fetching good money so it might be worthwhile getting a quote

The URC database should have codes for that unit. The software for programming the MX-900 has it. Which remote are you trying to program?

You cannot fix the receiver unless you are a technician with the proper tools and circuit diagrams. I would think it worth the cost of repair though.

Good Luck

Service manual says it has already selectable voltage transformer in it having selection of 120V, 220V and 240VAC. Anyway see page 9 of service manual ROTEL RX-855 Service Manual download, schematics, eeprom, repair info for electronics experts (elektrotanya.com)

Several possibilities come to mind. First shorted connections to speaker wires. Faults in the power supply. Sometimes if the unit has not been working for a while the large capacitors in the power supply can dry up. An overload on a power transistors.

Hello Ruben, so you do not open the CD holder tray of your Rotel, the problem is that the belt that transmits the rotation of the engine to the mechanism of the car, may be stretched and therefore the car does not open, this is the most common fault in this type of CD players You should replace it, if you can not do it, look for a specialized technical service I hope you can solve the problem Greetings Franco Dosil Hola Ruben, por lo que cuentas, no se abre la bandeja porta CD de tu Rotel, el problema es que la correa que trasmite el giro del motor al mecanismo del carro, puede estar estirada y por lo tanto el carro no se abre, esta es la falla mas habitual en este tipo de reproductores de CD Deber?s reemplazarla, si no puedes hacerlo, busca un servicio t?cnico especializado Espero puedas resolver el problema Saludos Franco Dosil https://elektrotanya.com/rotel_rcd-951-tm.pdf/download.html http://bwgroupsupport.com/downloads/manuals/rotel/RCD-951-OM.pdf

hi it sound to me that when you biamp and driving speaker and woofer , you are over loading the fuses , suggestions uprate the fuses till they stop blowing

Probably the EEPROM, the heart and brain of the appliance. I had the same issue with my AIWA, could not figure out the cause, took it in, tech told me EEPROM is blown. Not economical to repair.

Your changer has lost its mind and is doing crazy things.just like mine. Software issue not repairable.. Go shopping.

Check the rest of the power supply, for example the transformer if there is no power at all. If you are getting some indication of power, check the voltage regulator circuit.

Hi Awal. Interesting problem. Have you tried another pair of leads? What source are you using please, cd tuner etc? I noticed the the names for the five audio/video inputs can be customized by the user, Maybe there is a firmware issue? With the unit being surround sound Have you tried running in 2 chanels only?

I'm guessing you don't know for sure that it even needs fuses. They don't go out like they used to, as everything is controlled by a microprocessor(computer within your unit). I would suggest, that you, with the power plug pulled out, use an ohm meter to be sure that each fuse is shorted. If you need further assistance, or would like to inquire about a repair, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

Try interchanging the speakers. If the right channel works, you have a problem with your speaker.

I do not know anything about your brand or market, but I have had good success with replacement remotes at http://www.replacementremotes.com/ They have a very wide selection of mostly refurbished remotes. Originally supplied with RSX 1058 is this: http://www.replacementremotes.com/ROTEL/Buy-RR-1061-RR1061-Audio-Remote-Control.html

Turn off the other channel and listen only to the bad channel playing some music. Turn it up! If you hear any music the pre-amp is working and the power amp is faulty. If you don't, then the pre-amp is faulty. Because it's a stereo amp you have the good channel to compare with the bad. So you can do voltage tests, or "buzz" tests. Buzz Tests or where you apply a insulated tool to the circuits, a buzz will be heard. If it buzzers in the good channel it should in the bad. Ignore the power supply and don't short any parts out!
