No sound Moto DCP501 Sound was very low when I first got it. But didn't use it much so didn't care. Now there is no sound at all. I've tried everything from switching A/B input, audio mode, plug in diff speakers, etc. I even plug in a DMM to check the voltage just for the hel of it. a constant 2.49v on all speakers out while the movie is playing on the internal DVD player. Speakers measured 8 ohm as specified. I did a resistant check on all the speakers connection on the receiver side too and none of them shorted. I"m stumped and need help before I open this thing too far off to put it back together correctly. Thanks.

The newer receiver amplifiers have not provided an input for the low voltage phono cartridge, a pre-amp is required that has the proper impedance to match up with the phono cartridges.

The attached photo is an example of one of many that are available sense the old vinyls are coming back.

Hope this helps?

Where is your ringtone? Is it from your ringtone from an SD card or the phone?

Settings : Sounds : Volumes : Ringtone volumes

The out put transisters are probally fried for the front channels,

Ho ho very sad ! Why didn't you place a complain to Nokia Care ?They will repair it freely.anyway,If your phone is still under warranty (within 1 yr) you can visit nearest Nokia Care shop.Or if there is no Nokia care shop nearby visit any mobile repairing shop.The only thing you need to do is to change the Ringer.Good luck

Hi,
I have the same problem. No sound at all on my DCP501, have you already solved it?

Magno

the power unit probably got damaged also try another tv and look for your proof of purchase you mite still get it replased for free either from the store you bought from or SONY.

This is gonna sound funny, but have you tried turning the volume up on the phone?

If so, is the sound good when you put it on speaker? If it does, you just have a faulty ear piece.

You don't say what else works. Have you tried it with FM to eliminate external source causes? Does your TV get audio passed through to it? That would establish that there is program material to be amplified. Headphones work?

The following is from the User Guide -

Check to make sure that each speaker has been properly connected to the
speaker output jacks on the rear panel of the DCP501.
�� Check that the speakers are working by utilizing the Test Tone function as
described in the “Operation” section.
�� Verify that the DCP501 has not been placed in MUTE mode.
�� Check that the volume control on the DCP501 has been adjusted to an
appropriate listening volume.
�� Verify that the DCP501 is set to the correct source (CATV, VCR, DVD, Tape,
etc).
�� If the front panel displays O V E R L O A D , one of two things has happened:
1 If the DCP501 detects the speakers have a short circuit, it shuts down
the amplifiers. Switch the DCP501 off, remove the short circuit, and turn
the DCP501 back on. The DCP501 should now work as normal. If
O V E R L O A D is still displayed, a short circuit condition remains.
2 If the maximum amplifier output power is exceeded, the DCP501 shuts
down the amplifiers. Turn down the volume a little and switch the
DCP501 off and then switch the DCP501 back on and the DCP501
should now work as normal. If O V E R L O A D is still displayed, turn the
volume down some more.

The Speaker Setup menu has a Speaker Reset (to default settings) option.

From page 24 of the Installation Section

The clear protective film on the DCP501 display must be removed and transferred to the inside back cover of your
DCP501 Home Theater System User Guide. The Unit Address and Serial Number found on the protective film is
required for activation of your DCP501 cable TV receiver by your cable TV service provider.

Do not disconnect the cable connection between the RF In and To RF In ports. Removal of this
cable could disrupt operation of the DCP501.

IMPORTANT! The digital cable feature of your Motorola DCP501 can be activated only in
certain cable systems throughout North America. Contact your local cable TV provider to
determine whether the digital cable feature of your Motorola DCP501 can be activated. In cable
systems where the digital cable feature cannot be activated, you may connect an external cable
receiver provided by your local cable provider. For best results, connect an external cable
receiver through the audio and video inputs on the back of your DCP501.

It takes registration of the unit to receive them and it would be unethical and illegal to post a way to hack them here...
