Hello,
I have an old SX-1600 Pioneer stero receiver that has a short in it. Had it shipped off to repair; it worked ok for about a year. Now it's doing the same thing. I need something to run my Kenwood KD-491F turntable. Although I have the Kenwood, all other components are Pioneer and I would like to keep it that way. Have contacted Pioneer twice with no response. Purchased a new receiver a couple of years ago, but it wouldn't run the turntable. The store graciously took it back.
Two options: Find a reputable, experienced repairman. Or, someone clue me in on what new Pioneer model will run the turntable.
Thank you, KB
Hi again,
It would seem that you posted the problem here also. With your kind permission, I will repost my excerpts of my responses that others may benefit on similar concerns.
A. Most current receivers no longer include a PHONO input. Perhaps what
could be done is to purchase a phono to line level pre-amplifier to go
along in your purchase for a new receiver.
I was made to understand that the Pioneer SX-1600 is prone to speaker output problems which could either be:
1. the speaker relay (protection); and/or
2. the amp, STK4191II Stereo Module.
Either
should be relatively easy to work on and perhaps you can try the
services of a locally available qualified electronic technician since
the repairs would not be too specialized. The service manual may be of help (or at least a schematic , they may be downloaded from here and here).
B. To recap what you need is a receiver that can accommodate:
4 - Pioneer S-DF1-K (15-100W, 8 ohms)
1 - Pioneer PD-F407 25 Disc CD Player
1 - Pioneer CT-300 dual tape deck
1 - Kenwood KD-491F turntable
C. Possible choices are (keeping in mind that the power output should be less if not equal to 100 watts and a turntable/phono input):
i. Onkyo TX-8522 Stereo Receiver;
ii. Yamaha RX-397 100 Watt Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Receiver;
iii. Sony STR DE695 AV receiver;
iv. Teac AG-790 200 Watt Stereo Receiver;
v. Denon AVR 888 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel.
Some of the above also includes feature(s) to hook up to your video system. Some may even require a fifth speaker (subwoofer).
Incidentally, you can also choose another brand/model even without a turntable/phono input. As initially posted, a turntable/phone to line level pre-amplifier is only required. Here are some examples:
a. XP200 Turntable Preamp - Nano Series;
b. Pyle® Pro PP999 Phono Preamplifier;
c. Pro-Ject Phono Box Turntable Preamplifier;
d. Radial J33 RIAA Turntable Preamp Direct Box
Good luck with your project.
