20 Most Recent Sherwood RVD-6095R Receiver Questions & Answers

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'nekkid'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

There is a small battery inside somewhere that keeps the presets. It probably needs replaced.

I did solve the problem with the Sherwood receiver R6036-R
The problem was a broken solder Trace towards the power cord on the powersupply board.

Thanks for your concern

Do you know the Input and Output voltage on this transformer? The only advice I got 4u is to find the Identical/similar Input/output/wattage for this transformer or find a shop that can rewind a new wire's on that transformer. Hope this may help you

my be the off/on bottom is not good.no working.

You may be able to find a service manual for your Sherwood RV 7050R amp on the manufacturer's website or by contacting their customer support. Alternatively, you can search for third-party websites that offer service manuals for various electronics. Just be sure to use caution when downloading from unknown sources to avoid any potential risks.

The soft hiss that you are hearing from both speakers of your Sherwood RD-6505 may be caused by a few different factors:

1. Ground loop: A ground loop occurs when there are two or more devices connected to a common ground, causing a voltage difference between the grounds. This voltage difference can create interference, resulting in a hissing sound.
2. Faulty cable or connection: Check all of the connections and cables between your audio source and the Sherwood RD-6505. Make sure that they are plugged in securely and that the cables are in good condition. A faulty cable or connection can create interference and result in a hissing sound.
3. Amplifier issue: The hissing sound may also be caused by an issue with the amplifier circuitry in the Sherwood RD-6505. If this is the case, you may need to take the device to a professional for repair.
4. Power issue: If the power supply of the Sherwood RD-6505 is unstable, it can also result in a hissing sound. Check the power supply and ensure that it is providing the appropriate voltage.

If you have checked all of these potential causes and are still experiencing the hissing sound, it may be best to contact a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

The service manual is here Manual: RX2030R SHERWOOD (archive.org) Moving on, are you sure the 120/240 voltage select is set correctly? That fuse is not listed but could be one of the fuses shown in the schematic on the voltage selector board. You need to check the diodes that are after the transformer to see if one or more have failed. Usually the thermal fuse in the transformer will fail and none of the other ones will. You need to check the transformer for shorts on both the primary and secondary side. You need to see if any of the filter capacitors have failed.

and FM is dead,? (other shoe drops now)you meant/?Sherwood Newcastle R-525 sold new in 1990s so near 30 years is a good run. no?it needs work, the knob shaft broken installed wrong.no photo of yours posted.,well of FM is dead the problem is far far worsebad power supply DC inside,to fix that needs the shop manual schematic and a meter check each DC power rail for in spec.voltageor if one is shorted to ground. overloading itor the rig got wet, just found this in a garage sale or ran 25 years and die this week./not history told and there are always a story.some even sordid. (full of mouse peeee from attic storage>????? seen it all and some wished not.

Hi, If the speakers work during the test, then the issue might be with how surround sound is programmed on your tv. You should look into your sound settings with your tv's remote. Thank you.

Question edited for full make model (what it is). If the whole unit isn't working, yes, I could be a fuse. If only the surround sound isn't working, it is a wiring issue or a button issue, or an internal component failure. https://www.google.com/search?q=sherwood+ra-1140+service+manual ..

The head phone jack in the Sherwood receiver has dirty contacts. If the head phones work in another device, that proves there is nothing wrong with them. When phones are plugged in the Sherwood, shows s problem with the receiver. When the head phones are not plugged in and both external speakers come on, it means nothing regarding head phones. Contact cleaner could be used to fix the problem.

If there is one, it will be mentioned within your user manual.

It would actually depend on the make and model of the speakers. Generally the answer is yes but you run into issues when the speakers load the amp down if there are too many or they are wired wrong. There are ways around it though

O.k. what inputs do you have at the rear? Send me a pic would be better
