ROTEL SERVICE MANUAL RA-310 Pre-Main Stereo Amplifier —Roland Electronics Co., Ltd. —ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS. Always disconnect the chassis from power line when soldering. Turning the power switch OFF is not enough. Power line leakage passing through the heating element may destroy the transistors. Never attempt to do any work on the transistor amplifiers without first disconnecting the AC line cord and waiting until the power supply filter capacitors have discharged. Replacement for output and driver transistors, if necessary, must be made from the same beta group as the orignal type. If one output transistor burns out {open or short) always remove all the ‘output transistors in that channel and check the bias adjustment, the control ‘and other parts in the network with an ohm-meter before inserting a new transistor. All transistors in one channel will be destroyed if the base biasing circuit is open on the emitter end. When mounting @ replacement power transistor, be sure that the bottom of the flange, the mica insulators and the surface of the heat sink are free of foreign matter, for they may cause transistors failure Silicon grease must be applied between the transistor and the mica insulator, ‘and between the mica insulator and the heat sink for better heat conduction, PREDRIVER/DRIVER ADJUSTMENT Set BALANCE, BASS and TREBLE controls to their center position. Set MODE switch to “STEREO”, SPEAKER switch to "ON" and SELEC: TOR switch to “AUX” position, Connect an 8 ohm, SOwatt resistor across L speaker terminals. In parallel with the load resistor, connect the vertical input leads from the oscilloscope. Connect an audio generator, set for 1,000 Hz (sine wave), to L chan, AUX input. Connect the AC power cord and rotate the volume control to clockwise position, to full volume. Increase the generator output until the sine wave (on the scope just starts clipping, Adjust the DC balance, VR701, for equal clipping on the positive and negative half cycles of the signal. (Fig. 1) 6. Rotate the volume control to counter-clockwise position, to achieve 0.1 watt (0.9 volt RMS, 8 ohm) output. To adjust for crossover distortion, adjust the VR702 until the crossover is extinguished. Or, adjust idling current using a OCmV meter, across R716 resistor on “AF-17"" driver board and rotate VR702 to obtain a 10 mV reading on the DCmV meter (no signal input). 7. Repeat the preceding steps for the right channel. Fig. 1 DC Balance Adjustment or co Fig. 2. Crossover Distortion Adjustment > ENTIRE UNIT INOPERATIVE 1. If the pilot lamp does not light A.
