A few quirks with my sanyo m-x650k

[blu_fuz]

The dolby switch only seems to be connecting if I hold the switch or put pressure on it. I sprayed the cleaner stuff in it and that didn't help. I wedged a piece of plastic by the switch so it is making connection now but sometimes it cuts out when the bass is hitting and I have to wiggle the switch again.

Also, I just noticed when I had some time to really sit down and test everything, the cassette plays as it should and I get sound out of both speakers when in MONO, but if I switch it to stereo I loose sound from the left speaker. Not sure where to start on that one. (correction, now I just tried it again and it is working just fine..... ) But now getting the same sensitivity in the "Tape Sel" modes (metal, Cr02, Normal) switch just like the dolby (on/off) switch.


Can anyone tell me how to use the AMSS selectors on the front of the BBX. Thanks!



I just wanted to say DAAAAAAMN, this box is LOUD! I can never turn it up past 4 or 5 before I start hurting my ears!

Figured out the AMSS, that is very sweet.

The rest is hit or miss, sometimes it works in stereo and sometimes not.

Oh well, works well enough for what I use it for. Thanks anyway.


BTW, this box is a little bigger than the SCR-8 but I am getting a better sound from the SCR-8 - just in case you wanted to know.

It might not be relevant for the 650, but I know on my 720 there was sort of a grounding issue with the main board. It very well could have been a cold solder joint, but I never could find one. It was basically causing the Tape/Radio/Aux switch to act funny and sometimes the box would lose a lot of power.
