1. SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
1.1 NOTES ON SOLDERING
A
• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting B
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:

• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.

[Purpose]
The numbers of detections for various protection processes are displayed.

this mode.
The display will return to the normal indication when no key operation is performed for 5 seconds.

The above-mentioned Display mode is available only when the product operates properly.
If any protection function is activated while the product is in use, the product cannot be turned ON and enter the above
Display mode. In such a case, cancel the protection function, referring to “3.4 How to cancel the status after detection of the
DC error." If a protection function is activated immediately after the previous protection function is canceled, cancel that
protection function again then enter STBY mode immediately. You can then see the error logs, following the above procedures,
until a next protection function is activated.

[Detailed explanations]
1. When the procedures for Reset mode for numbers of protection detections are completed, all the counters will be
reset to "000."
2. Prohibitions:
The protection detection counts cannot be cleared (reset to 000) with the MEMORY CLEAR process.
They can only be cleared when the procedures of Reset mode are completed.

For detection of a TEMP error, the unit monitors both the TR_DET and PROTECT2 signals. If a TEMP error is detected,
the processes shown below will be performed. The processes shown below are rough operational specifications and are
not the actual commands from the mounted components.
After a TEMP error is detected, the count of protection activation detections will be updated.

A Note:
(1) Even if the unit shown in the photos and illustrations in this manual may differ from your product, the
procedures described here are common.
(2) For performing the diagnosis shown below, the following jigs for service is required:
• Board to board extension jig cable (GGD1733)
• Board to board extension jig cable (GGD1734)
• 31P extension jig FFC (GGD1738)
• 9P extension jig cable (GGD1739)
• 13P extension jig cable (GGD1740)
1. Discharging
[1] MAIN Assy Capacitor (C55, C58)
[Procedures]
(1) Unplug the power cord.
(2) Disconnect the 10P connector from CP403 of the AMP Assy between CN3 of the MAIN Assy.
(3) Connect +B and –B terminal of the D7, using resistor leads with 47 - 100 ohms (2 W or higher), for discharging.
∗ Discharging time: 30 - 60 seconds, depending on the level of resistance.
(4) Check that the voltage between the +B and –B terminals is less than 1 V, using a tester.
∗ Be sure to connect the GND terminal of the tester to the chassis.
C ∗ If the voltage is still 1 V or higher, repeat Step (3).

[Note]
During repair, before checking the MAIN Assy, etc., with the rear chassis removed, be sure to connect the
GND terminal of the main capacitor to the chassis back (speaker chassis), as shown below, then connect the
power cord.
Without grounding connection, the protection circuit will be activated.

(2) How to Update the USB Microcomputer (VSX-821-K, VSX-921-K ONLY)

[Procedures]
1. Copy the "VSX_USB.rom" file to the root directory of a USB memory device.
2. Press the iPod USB key on the remote control unit to select iPod/USB function then connect the USB memory device.
C 3. After accessing the USB memory device, "UPG? NO" is displayed on the FL display and "UPDATE? NO" is displayed as
an On-Screen display.
4. Press the iPod USB key on the remote control unit.
5. Send either iPod/USB Cursor Left or iPod/USB Cursor Right code.
6. "UPG? YES" is displayed on the FL display and "UPDATE? YES" is displayed as an On-Screen display.
7. After sending the iPod/USB Enter code, updating starts. (“UPDATE” is displayed on the FL display.)
8. When "UPG? NO" is displayed on the FL display and "UPDATE? NO" is displayed as the On-Screen display, updating is
completed.
9. Disconnect the USB memory device then turn the unit off.
[How to Confirm the Version of the USB Microcomputer]
1. Select the iPod/USB function then turn the unit off.
D 2. While holding the ENTER key on the front panel pressed, press the STNADBY/ON key.
3. When the receiver is turned on, press the ENTER key on the main unit three times.
(Each time the ENTER key is pressed, the indications on the FL display change as follows:
Main -> Sub -> DSP -> USB -> All segments lit.)
4. The version is displayed on the FL display, as "USB:***."
Notes on updating
• If you perform updating of the same software twice, it may fail.
• If the indication "UPDATE" on the FL display does not change, let it sit for a few minutes.
If the indication on the FL display changes to one other than "UPDATE," the unit becomes operable.
Turn the unit off after it becomes operable.
(3) How to update the DSP Microcomputer

[Procedures]
1. Select an Input Function that allows reception via Optical input 1 or 2 then set the unit to STBY_Off mode.
2. Press the SPEAKERS and STANDBY/ON keys simultaneously to enter DSP UpDate mode. ("DSP UP" is displayed.)
3. When "PLAY" is displayed, playback of the .wav file starts. (Play the file only once. NEVER repeat playback.)
("PLAY" is displayed.)
4. After playback is finished and "ENTER" is displayed, press the ENTER key on the front panel. ("ENTER" is displayed.)
5. "WRITING" is automatically displayed.

12. PCB PARTS LIST

A - The > mark found on some component parts indicates the importance of the safety factor of the part.
- When ordering resistors, first convert resistance values into code form as shown in the following examples.
Ex.1 When there are 2 effective digits (any digit apart from 0), such as 560 ohm and 47 k ohm (tolerance is shown by J = 5%,
and K = 10%).
560 Ω → 56 × 101 → 561 ................................................................... RD1/4PU 5 6 1 J
47 kΩ → 47 × 103 → 473 ................................................................... RD1/4PU 4 7 3 J
0.5 Ω → R50 ................................................................................................. RN2H R 5 0 K
1Ω → 1R0 ................................................................................................. RS1P 1 R 0 K
Ex.2 When there are 3 effective digits (such as in high precision metal film resistors).
5.62 kΩ → 562 × 101 → 5621 ................................................................. RN1/4PC 5 6 2 1 F
- Meaning of the figures and others in the parentheses in the parts list.
B
Example) IC 301 is on the point (face A, 91 of x-axis, and 111 of y-axis) of the corresponding PC board.
