Not turned on? Not plugged in (either the receiver or the speakers)?

Sorry for sounding so flip; but you've not given any clue as to what may
be the problem.

Try again....

the problem is no sound are coming out of the speakers. Everything is
plugged in properly

[jamesgangnc]

No sound from any source? It doesn't work with fm, cd, any other sources?

Lights and everything comes on ok?

No sound from any source suggests the amplifier section presuming that the
speakers are connected properly.

No teenager that might have blown both your speakers? (You guys laugh but I
spent a while diagnosing a pioneer amp only to eventually find out my teen
daughter turned the volume all the way up and went up stairs. 4 speakers
destroyed.)

Actually I am a teenager. I bought it with my own money and I would
never abuse anything to the point it breaks. The speakers are fine I
tested them with another player. When im on the setting for ipod it
just doesnt play.

Okay, start from the beginning. When did the problem start? What
'does' happen when you turn it on: lights; clicks...odors? Into which
input do you plug the Ipod? Any sound on other sources?

Really, give us a clue...actually more than a clue. Let us know the
whole story or you'll not get any help--at least any that you can use.

Damn it, Jim! We're techies, not clairvoyants!

In fact sound does not get from the "receiver to the speakers" in any case,
only electrical signals.
I think he needs to call someone.

I plug my ipod into the reciever. The reciever is supposed to send
that signal to the speakers. It doesn't. Im asking what my problem is
cause im stumped.

This is a receiver and has a radio inside? Does the radio play?
Does any other source play?

All good fortune,

If you're unable to diagnose any further than that, then follow my previous
suggestion.

I have some experience with these. The OP has no chance of fixing it
himself. If it helps, this model is a rebadged Marantz SR-92.

Jack,

I've read all of the other posts (so far)and have to agree that it
would be unlikely that you'll be able to fix this unit yourself.
However, there are a couple of things that you can check for yourself,
as long as you are good with PC board soldering and an ohm meter.

This unit was a 'customized' (for Carver) version of a Marantz SR-92
receiver. Carver issued a bulletin suggesting changing R902 in the
power supply to a 47 ohm 2W flame proof resistor, and at the same time
change the 'hologram relay' to their part number LY20240400, what ever
that is. I would at least find R902 and make sure that it is not open.


These amps also run very hot and sometimes the small driver
transistors in the front amps need to be resoldered or replaced. As I
recall, look at Q701 and 703 in the left channel, and Q702 and 704 in
the right. Q701 and 702 are 2SA1145, and Q703 and 704 are 2SC2705. If
they look cooked, you might want to replace them. I'd check them with
an ohm meter first to see if they are still functional. The transistors
can be ordered from many suppliers, among them (in the US) MCM
Electronics (www.mcmelectronics.com). You should check over the
soldering of that area of the PC board while you are there.

Lastly, there is a reset button ,S801, on the main board near the
center that should set everything back to factory default.

My final comment is that if you don't know how to ohm-meter check a
transistor, or have a friend who does, then its time to visit a repair shop.

I doubt they would "look cooked", even if they have been destroyed.

Which assumes he has a meter and can use it. Something not evident in the
previous posts.

shop.

Which others have told him many times already.

Hi Where do i find the service manual for Carver HR 895,my system works fine but the tone control i.e. bass,treble does not fuction.Or from where can i download the service manual for Carver HR895 or Marantz SR92. Are these two models the same ,what about voltages and other components.

If there is a problem causing the protection relays to disengage, try
measuring the votages in fronnt of the relays. It should be very close to zero DC.
Two channels ?

Look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=380097152242
I have the same problem. All im asking from you guys is
Whats wrong
Where in the receiver is it
How to fix it.

Jack,

You are unable to describe your problem in the detail necessary to allow
anyone to guess at a cause.
You need to find someone who likes playing with electroics. There are
usually a few of these in any high school. Ask around until you find one or
two. Get them to help you.
They'll probably want the schematic. If it's not in the owners manual
you'll probably need to buy one.
