Technics SA-DX930 Receiver Logo

Digital input glitch, switches randomly from analog to digital.

Most of the time when I turn on my Technics SA-DX930 it switches over to digital in the digital input setting from analog. This results in the sound being really soft almost inaudible, or well inaudible unless it's loud music. The timing when it switches seems totally random, sometimes (not often) it works just fine, it doesn't switch for hours. But sometimes I can sit and turn it on and off and mess with digital input button for hours just to have it turn back to digital the second my finger leaves the button. I probably should add though that it doesn't actually switch as the digital input light turns green and it says digital on the display but the effect is the same. Please help me out it would be most appreciated.

What connections do you use for the device you are listening to, and what device are you listening to when this happens. you should use either an analog, or a digital connection to a device, but not both

    I got my computer connected to it through an aux adapter. Got it on the DVD channel also got my synths hooked up to the TV and CD channels. The problem doesn't lie in that I choose the wrong setting it's that it randowly switches to digital even though I didn't switch it. Which results in it getting messed up since analog seems to be the correct setting for it.

SOURCE: Technics SA-DX950 has lost digital sound

This may sound like a silly check, but verify that the tape monitor switch is not engaged. What is the quality of the sound when turned up? Is the cound clear or raspy?

Thanks,
Dan

Would I be able to connect an external Technics SH-8036 Stereo Graphic Equalizer to my Technics SA-500 receiver?

Yes, it is hooked up using the (cassette) tape inputs and outputs. Use the tape monitor switch on the receiver to switch the EQ in or out.

Trying to hook up SH-AC500D to SA-AX720 Receiver. I wanna know the right wires to use. Thank you

Connect the 6-channel analog outputs of the AC500 to the 6-channel analog inputs on the AX720 using 3 RCA cable pairs.

http://archiwumallegro.pl/technics_shac500d_procesor_surround_ddigital_dts-1215399983.html

Digital sources will enter the AC500 and be converted to 5.1 analog output.

Be advised, that input on the receiver will not allow any internal DSP manipulation. WYSIWYG.

I am planning to get an SA-DX930. How old is it? can it be hooked to a phonograph and a cd burner to copy music from albums? what is the total wattage? Thanks, Ted Vidan

1. the manual date is 1999 if that tells you anything
2. It has a native Phono Preamp for that old-school turntable
3. CD Burner: yes. Attach it in the Tape Loop and optical digital input for playback.

The CD recorder should also have digital input(s) so you can can capture digital audio from a variety of sources.

Connecting sub speaker to technics sa dx930

Yes, if it only has speaker-level inputs it would require an amplifier to properly drive it. Name the sub and maybe we can answer the second question.

Digital optical output for technics 5.1 surround sound receiver

I went to the HDTV plasma manual. It stated the only way the digital optical audio output would work (from this TV) was to go to the menu, select audio and turn off the TV speakers. Basically, it had nothing to do with the technics receiver.

Technics SA-DX930. I ran digital optical cable from the TV to the receiver using the tv/dss mode. It worked well for 4 months. It stopped working. I can get sound out of the receiver and speakers using...

If the only thing not working is the optical input, it is possible that the optical converter is defective. Without seeing the actual unit and testing the IC, I can't say for sure. If you have test equipment, let me know and we will attempt to track this down.

I hooked two Receivers up in series a Technics SA-DX930 and a different kind I'm not sure wut kind. They worked great for a while, but when they got turned up a little louder they both quit puting out...

you blew your power amp board, you cannot hook them in series due to impediance matching and improper input levels, cheaper to replace reciever than the board
