I have a sansui receiver 9900z with a broken antena,I think. The broken part was connected to the rear near the antena connectors. I am not sure if this is suppose to ba a antena or not? The set plays well but will not pull in am or practically no fm stations.

Yes, you can, it if has a tape in and out on the back. connect it up and turn on the tape monitor to use the eq.

Try checking the speakers and connections. Those symptoms occur if there is a short. Disconnect all spkrs, turn it on and if it stays on connect one speaker at a time until it shuts off.

Do you have a FM antena hook up to it?

Hello
The spare parts for most of the audio systems are available from most of the electronic spare part selling shops at your town. If you feel any difficulty it getting the parts, you can contact the nearest authorised service center for Sansui at your town. OK.

fred i dutoi,

Check your connections first. Make sure your input on the Sansui RZ-7001 menu is selected to dvd. Also, make sure the blue ray cables are also inserted in the correct inputs on the rear of the receiver(dvd input). via. rca cables(red, white & yellow) the yellow is the video, hdmi, or optical. If you do not hear sounds coming from your speakers you need to check the separate volume levels for the speakers within the receiver itself. Front and rears having different volume levels within the receiver. Hope this helps. Also make sure you check the volume on the dvd player. Thanks for visiting FixYa.com. Have a great day !

1) Look in the trunk, near the hatshelf for the connector that hooks to the rear window, to make sure that it is connected, AND that it receives electricity when activated from the dashboard. If it receives 12 volts or so, then inspect visually the resistance lines in the window, and check that they are not scratched or broken. Electricity will not flow if those lines arent continuous. I am assuming that you checked for broken fuses first. Broken lines can be repaired.

That unit uses a TNC connector. Just have someone install a new one on the end of the cable. IT's a little more difficult than a F connector for a TV but not rocket science. You can also send it in to Mid-Shore Electronics. Just google them and get their number. They have alot of experience with the older stuff.

it sounds like either:
-the tv was intended for a foreign market.
-the tv does not have a tuner (it is just a monitor)

the connector on the antenna is an "f" connector.

if the connectors on the tv are "rca" then it is probably just a monitor - and needs an external tuner (ie dedicated tuner, cable box, tivo, vcr, etc)

if the connector on the tv is a "bnc" then the tv may be meant for the european market, and probably can not tune channels in the us.

see wikipedia.org for images of bnc and rca connectors.

you can certainly get an adapter from/to any of those connector types, but i think that alone is unlikely that will solve the problem. check or find the manual for the tv - be sure it actually has a tuner compatible with the signals you want to receive..

the only other way is if your TV have audio & video inputs , to purchase a RF MODULATOR by RADIO SHACK cat. no. 15-1244 , hope this helps , AJ

Hi aline1929


This is an early synthesised tuner built in the early 80's. In saying that, it is still a revered receiver for performance and sonics. It will have a fault in the in the divider stages of the freguency synthesis circuit that will need a tech to have a look at for you. Frequency synthesis faults can be difficult to repair if you do not have previous experience. Where abouts in the world are you and I will try to steer you to someone that can help you to repair the problem.

I am more than happy to answer any other questions you may have about it, just give me a hoy :) Thanks for using FixYa, If you consider the advice I have given you as sound, a FixYa rating is a great reward for my efforts to help you. Cheers.
