20 Most Recent Aiwa AV-S17 Receiver Questions & Answers

Unplug the power cable completely to turn off and then turn back on again. Check whether there are no lose parts with missing contact.
Most probably it looks like a deeply digital problem with no do it yourself solutions - bring it to the repairman, but I even doubt he would fix it.

To cancel the ECO mode

1 Press the ECO button to display ECO MODE while the unit is turned on.

2 Within 4 seconds, press the ENTER button.

3 Within 4 seconds, turn the MULTI JOG to select ECO OFF.

The mode will be automatically set after 4 seconds. It will also be set if the ENTER button is pressed within 4 seconds after step 3.

It may be caused by the economy mode, but I doubt it. If you can't turn it off with either the power button on the unit or the one from the remote then something larger is going on, possibly damaged hardware in the machine. To turn the eco mode off, when your unit is on push the eco button and then use the multi jog or the up/down arrows to select eco off....

If it won't let you do this then this receiver has some serious hardware trouble...

Let me know what you find, just reply here.

The tuner, selector and volume knobs of many brands of receivers are interchangeable and easily modifiable to make fit when needed.

Sounds like old age - the 2020 is nearly 30 years old! Have you tried just using the LOCKOUT feature on all channels except the you want? How about just programming the same frequency into all 20 channels?

Would need more information. What kind/brand and model, does it have a detachable face, does it go out and stay out, does it go out when you hit a bump, or when its hot/cold.

Check the internal memory battery if there is one, then reset the sleep setting? Check the manual regarding memory back up.

Well this helped me find the relay but I found that after i pulled it off the board that it has some corosion around the metal prongs that hold it to the board. Could not get the relay open to do what is posted above , tryed opening it several times. Not sure if you are supposed to open it but could someone let me know. I am scraping around the prongs to get the corosion off hoping it will help but might just replace it alltogether. Further info on how to open the relay to do what is posted would help, I would appreciate any help, plzzzzz! :)

Check your speaker leads and speakers.

I have the parts of this model if you need any my mobile no.is ±919815356930

The complexity of the solution depends on the problem. The drive belt or pinch roller may be worn or have a hardened surface. If the tape doesn't turn at all or only very slowly in any function, verify that the tape drive motor is running and that the belt is turning the pulley(s). If the tape tends to tangle up, check the pinch roller. Sometimes cleaning the roller with a cotton swab dampened with rubbing alcohol will work, but if it's too hardened, you'll need to use rubber conditioner or replace it. If nothing at all happens when you select the tape function, there may be an electrical problem such as a dirty contact on the function switch or a broken wire in the tape mechanism. This is far from a comprehensive repair guide; it only covers the most common issues other than broken plastic parts. "Will not work" is too general to provide more than that. Cleaning the pinch roller and its drive pin can be done through an open cassette door; everything else most likely requires taking stuff apart, observing operation and perhaps making voltage measurements.

That unit is only available in South Africa. Contact Aiwa in Japan. I have also searched hard for it, as as you say, nothing online. https://shopping4africa.com/products/aiwa-tall-boy-aht-5100bt https://www.google.com/search?q=Aiwa+AHT-5100BT+manual .za website https://www.int-aiwa.com/global_deatil.php?id=131 ..

My friend; the model number is not coming up and can't reference them. Are you referring to desktop speakers with the controls on front of the woofer or one of the front speakers not working? LET US KNOW< THANK YOU
