DUAL 714 Q VINTAGE TURNTABLE REPAIR AND OVERHAUL **PART 2** **1080p**
This is part two of a 45 year old Dual 714 Q turntable repair.
Part 1 is the overview, diagnosis, and electrolytic capacitor replacement.
Part 2 is tracking down the problems and final repair and overhaul.
This video is long because I wanted to show my methodology for narrowing down the source of the problem.
The problems on this TT ran much deeper than expected so these videos became longer than expected. I tried to cover a few other common problems you may encounter on this model. I hope some of you find this helpful or enjoyable.

Muchas gracias. Este método me funcionó con un RX-V477. Grateful!!
Just out of curiosity, I bought a Takmork acrylic turntable mat on Amazon for about a dozen dollars, and thanks to your advice, it was a very worthwhile investment!
Hi, do you know the same procedure for RX V775? I need to change model from V675 to V775- thanks
Did you try following this procedure? I thought all the "75" models had the same menu system, but I could be wrong.
@@AudioTomReviews hi I tried but it seams that it's only possible to view data but not to modify...
the service manual says "When the DIGITAL P.C.B. or IC82 on DIGITAL (1) P.C.B. is replaced, this unit will display “Internal Error” and will not operate properly. The model name MUST be written to the backup IC (EEPROM: IC82 on DIGITAL (1) P.C.B.) to have proper operation. (For detailed procedure, refer to related Service News or Service Bulletin. Or contact your local Yamaha representative.)" That is the procedure in my video. Did you toggle from "PCB" to "model" before trying? PCB will only show info, model is unlocked so you can change it. Here is your manual, but it doesn't cover the procedure. elektrotanya.com/yamaha_rx-v775.pdf/download.html#dl
You can also try a firmware update and see if that gives you the ability to update the model
Hi Tom, I have Yamaha RX-V485. I am facing a issue where Receiver doesn't connect to the router in the 'wired' mode. It does connect in the 'wireless' mode perfectly - no issues here. I have checked for the faulty cable and the router ports. Both seem OK as other devices when connected there work Okay. Any suggestion what could be the issue? Thank you.
Did you change it to "wired" in the settings menu?Selects the network connection method. Setup menu “Network” > “Network Connection” Choices Wired Select this option when you want to connect the unit to a network with a commercially-available network cable. Wireless(Wi-Fi) Select this option when you want to connect the unit to a network via the wireless router (access point). NOTE For details on the network connection, see the following: ▪ “Preparing for connecting to a network” (p.29) There are several other network settings possibilities I won't get into, but you may need to manually set an IP address as it may be trying to use one that is already in use by another unit on your network.
@@AudioTomReviews Thank you, Tom, for your response. I tried setting up the IP address manually by choosing the wired connection option and turning off DHCP. I provided a new static IP address while keeping the same subnet mask, default gateway, and primary DNS address as shown in the wireless settings. However, the wired connection still doesn't work. The new IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and primary DNS all show as (0.0.0.0) in the information window under the wired connection. Do you have any other suggestions I could try, or is it fair to assume that the network card might be the issue?
Thanks for sharing this info. The manual is too long to find this bit of knowledge. I do have a question and I know it's a long shot. I did this because I wanted to fix my receiver freezing after a while but since i did it, it doesn't give any amplified sound output. On full volume it I get the sound of the input very soft and crackly. Does anyone know if I just killed my amp?
another great video! Awesome work!
Juste wow merciiii beaucoup
Hi, First of all I wish u luck solving all the issues that You faced with this great turntable, I have one as well. I am planning to replace capacitors too, if You have time I would appriciate if you could post the list of all capacitors that You had used, I also think that this turntable deserves best possible parts. I live in Germany so it should be easy to find suitable capacitors. I hope video no. 2 will cover replacing Sylicon oil, because I'm quite unsure how to do it properly. Great job so far, and I look forward to part 2. Greetings from Germany 🖐️
Thanks for the comment, I hope to get over there one day as it was my great grandfathers birthplace. The good news is everything is done I just have to compile the video, the bad news is I showed how to replace the damping fluid on the lift but it didn't help. I may not have had the right oil or I didn't use enough of it, but the topic is covered. It's an amazing turntable (I still own my Dual 1257 I purchased in 1983) and I am planning other videos that will feature the 714. I will try to find the capacitor invoice and add it t the video for you.
i have a amply reciver sony STR V626. I cant control on the front device. help me pls. Thank you
I have a rxv 475, i switch on but automatically switch off after 4 or 5 second
It's protecting itself. Unplug all speaker wires from the back of the unit and see if it will turn on. If it does you have a bad speaker or speaker wire, if it doesn't then you have an internal problem
@@AudioTomReviews thanks sir
Thank you it works on my RX-V475 (firmware 1.34)

Sorry, that's not a model I'm familiar with.

Top notch buddy i amost bought an acrylic platter thanks to your advice i didnt waste my money on this!! Congrats!
An acrylic PLATTER is way different and far superior than an acrylic MAT that he's demonstrating in this video.
Anyone know reset procedure for avr-1700? I’m stuck in standby. Manual doesn’t show. Thanks!
Same here I hate these Denon receivers this is the third damn one I've had and they're all junk when it comes to this I don't care what anybody says these things are just too finicky. I TOO HAVE AN AVR 1700 I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR 2 AND 1/2 HOURS ONLINE WITH NO LUCK... ON HOW TO GET THE DAMN STANDBY OFF!!!
It could be in protect mode. First thing to check is unplug all speakers from the receiver then try turning it back on again, If it comes out of protect mode, then it's a bad speaker or speaker wire. If not then the problem runs deeper.
@@AudioTomReviews thank you for your advice. 😃
Oh, here you go, factory reset for your model on Denon's site: manuals.denon.com/AVRX1700H/EU/EN/GFNFSYvyalrwrt.php
Listening from TH-cam, I don't notice an "improvement" compared to the original... The upgrade took away the bass. The treble improved logically due to the change of tweeter. The mid frequencies do sound clearer. It sounds different, but for me not necessarily better... But the important thing is that you like it!! That was the goal. Beyond tastes, very good video, very neat work and explanation!!
Yeah, it's really hard to capture the difference with the current equipment I have. I need to get a mixer and 2 good mic's, hard to justify right now. The bass is what really wasn't captured the way it needed to be (and the recording is in mono). The "before" bass was more prominent, but extremely low quality. Boomy, boxy hollow sound, not good. After was articulate, clean and well defined, but that made it seem like there was less. I kept the eq the same for comparison, but they would handle a bass boost much better afterwards. I am slowly upgrading my equipment warchest and hope to bring better samples in the future. Thanks for the post!
USB to TRRS adapter with an extension TRRS to TRRS cable makes it far easier. Also, having your test files on a USB stick plugged into the car makes it much easier, too. I used pink noise and some Michael Jackson files and sat in the back seat making adjustments on my DSP. Also.. don't sweat minor noises.. listening environment is never perfect. I just do it a couple times in different sessions and then give a final listen or two by ear.
I will give the USB/TRRS adapter a try. I have not been able to find 3.5mm TRRS cables that didn't seriously degrade the sound. (well, at a reasonable price anyway)

Thanks!
If you have the typical $200-350 turntable, who cares! If you have a$1000 - whatever, then you need an acrylic platter. My $1300 Thorens has a metal platter that is nicely balanced, but with my line contact cartridge the rubber mat versus a good acrylic (without the problems stated) has a more isolated sound, indicating it isn't picking up vibrations externally. You should add the quality of the turntable, and the type of cartridges used makes a difference. The quieter the electronics used, the more the turntable benefits. We've done a blindfold test with the same records, and all my friends can tell when the acrylic mat is used. On my Rega with heavier acrylic platter (private English made), the difference is more pronounced with a richer midrange and less noticeable distortion. This stuff isn't cheap, so determine the quality of the system and turntable before buying a high quality acrylic platter (turned, not molded), and so perfect you can't see the rotations. Sensitivity of speakers, especially with ribbon tweeters, also makes a difference. You should always remember it's the total system that gives the quality of the sound.
Ideally an acrylic mat should be made model specific to a given TT, and there are some out there. There are so many variables with different TT's that it is hit or miss for the consumer, and that is probably why we see so many different review from good to bad.
I got free pair of Sony ss u601av 3 way towers and decided to make some improvements as well. I braced the inside and changed the tweeter with an infinity tweeter pair I had laying around. And changed the mid range . I lined the wood inside with carpet cushion mat and also use poly-fil . I didn’t use to much ploy-fil because the speakers cabinet are ported . Now I have a good looking set of vintage speakers that don’t sound bad . I was dumbstruck when I realized they sounded better than my advents and infinity Rs 4000 . One little experiment I did with the poly-fil since all the drivers are installed 1 1/2 “ on top of each other I tried using different amounts of poly material behind each driver to the ports and it made the bass sound cleaner and not interfere with the mid and highs coming out the speakers. The sound stage improved significantly .
If I had to choose one thing to improve a speakers sound, it would be damping. Glad your speakers turned out so nice!
Mine are from 1976 Kenwood kl888 and they are working Excellent maybe 🤔 Because the Pledge furniture polish 😂

nice , I just picked up the same unit , and it's dead !! nothing happens when I push the power on ... is there a fuse anywhere ? I can't see one ...thanks
Not one that I remember, but there are two of those ICP10 circuit protectors. I only blew one of them, maybe you blew the other one or both. Unsolder each one and check it for continuity. If one is bad replace it as well as all of the electrolytic capacitors. I hope that works for you.
Great now how do I turn up or down the bass?
I don't have it now, but I think you have to control that from the remote.
Any idea why my tone arm go down? The weight goes down like yours, but the actual needle arm won’t move. I must be missing a linkage but I can’t see where it might be.
Ouch, without seeing it is is hard to tell, make sure nothing is binding and no spring has come loose.

Good morning everyone!! Could someone tell me if it is possible to configure this receiver from the front panel? I just bought it but it doesn't come with the remote control, and where I live it is very difficult to find it... the receiver is the DENON AVR-3312CI
I got a good quality mat (the Acromat by the Funk Firm) for my Rega. Rega does not recommend a weight or record clamp. My 10 y/o Rega was sounding a bit dark, lacking openness and detail in the upper mids. The cartridge was a good one and new) I tried a cork mat but it made the bass more pronounced but did not open up the sound or allow more upper-mid detail. So upon recommendation of another TH-camr, I tried the Acromat. It opened up the sound (vs the wool stock mat) and allowed more upper-mid detail to emerge. What a difference. I was shocked. (I was shocked at the cork mat too. I just didn't like the effect). I think the two other factors that determine the effectiveness of mats are the specific turntable including platter material and the quality of the mat. That's why higher end manufacturers are using Delrin platters. Rega is using ceramic on its high end tts now. A lot of manufacturers use wool mats, even Rega. They are more neutral sounding. Mats making a difference in sound...I would have thought it was ridiculous three years ago.
I would take a wool mat over a poorly coupled acrylic any day.
@@AudioTomReviews That's probably true. A poorly coupled one is no good. I got a Funk Firm and it is solidly coupled to the platter via thin tack strips.
Thats because Rega uses weak ass motors and belts that can barely keep a 12" record spinning against the friction of a stylus.
How to reset the remote only? Please
Hey Tom is this microphone worth buying as of today do you recommend i save the extra few dollars and get this instead of the umm6 ? Did you finally perfect connecting it to the laptop with rew?
UMM-6 is really the way to go. The IMM-6 is cheap but has drawbacks. The biggest is all the 3.5mm trs/trrs cables on the market suck. They are noisy and degrade the sound, so I plug directly into the PC. This will get the job done in the basic sense, but I will be upgrading. It does work with REW fine, but in a clumsy way.
An acrylic mat is good for setting anti skate, but sound wise, they’re not for me.
I have the same Sony Domi digital surround receiver got mine in 1998 add nobody beats the wiz $499.99 came in a remote with an LCD screen still works only issue I had back in 2009 was the the display light went out disconnect the front panel and pull the cable gently control panel which reset the whole display works 100% also I don't push the power high so strain on the caps. ( Long time since I seen it fully decked out of the original what's the sound of a headphone jack
instead of a weight, I prefer a well designed record clamp, because I never wanted extra weight on the platter bearing, and figured a clamp serves the same purpose .. I use the Michell clamp now, but others have worked well in the past, including a five dollar plastic one from the now defunct radio shack . the Michell clamp is made of Delron, a hard material they say has the benefit of closely matching the resonance of a vinyl record, if that matters, and which they also use in their turntable platter, without a mat. When the presenter mentioned the ceramic platter has a sharp edge , that was enough to satisfy my product curiosity, because that edge is not consumer friendly, and will stay that way, like a ceramic knife.
I may look into a clamp. Some turn table motors won't handle the added weight. Clamps were pretty scarce for a while but it looks like more options are available.

What about a avr 589 ..? I can't find anything much on this receiver and you didn't include it? Can anyone help ?
Look at this: www.avsforum.com/threads/cant-reset-avr-589.2672153/
And maybe this: th-cam.com/video/R0C0plKixFM/w-d-xo.html
Why are you placing the acrylic mat on the the rubber mat.
The only time I put it on the rubber mat was on the Hitachi since the raised area at the center hub precludes you from using the acrylic mat without it. That was done only as a test and it showed that putting it on top of the mat is not a viable option.
Awesome job!
Good info.
Glad it was helpful!
Good Video! But i think you should have spent a couple bucks more on the tweeters. These chinese mylars sound bad. I have a pair myself that meassure awful. Is there a reason why you didn't made a crossover yourself? I think the improvement would have been bigger with a selfmade one with better fitting values.
Agreed on the tweeters, some soft domes would have worked out better and not cost much more. Building my own crossovers would have cost considerably more and these speakers simply are not worth it. The concept was "Can you upgrade your worthless sentimental value speakers for under $20"? Once I get more test equipment I will be delving into some custom crossovers etc on some better speakers I have.
I HAVE sony str-de845 but I have problems. No works good. I have reset many. Can yuo helpme?? What happen
It's actually even bigger. Great job! Thanks for the video. I've been eyeing those crossovers for a while and think it's time to pick up a set or two. It earned you a new partner.
Thanks! It's a very large improvement for such a small investment.
in my upgrades used timpano tweeters i love them and resistors when needed Timpano Audio TPT-ST2 4" Super Tweeter Pair or any of the other models all sound great
Without using the Calibration file there is no point owning this..laptop mic ins often use hi and lo pass filters and also you cannot null the soundcard response in REW using this.. also idealy you need to use another device as a signal generator as the headphone /line out will blead into your results regarless of any cable you use.Just use a phone app ,F generator is my favourite ios app , but any other will do
I used the calibration file, but yes the biggest hindrance is the poor quality of 3.5mm trs & trrs cables. But for the price it still works as a very basic measuring tool, definitely not for professionals.
I have rxv6A ,it says (model Dest Error). please help me on this....
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that model
@@AudioTomReviews thank you for your reply
@@DrAVRECEIVER You can try this: th-cam.com/video/ZEm80hdotZg/w-d-xo.html But I would unplug EVERYTHING from the receiver first. Dest Error could mean it is sensing a short or problem in the speakers or speaker wires etc
i have had the same exact problem with the extension cord making REW pickup the output signal in the input with this microphone. On my laptop i found that using an external type C DAC eliminated the crosstalk (using the same TRRS cable); the DAC is a cheap CX31993 type C to TRRS dongle, and it can be found for cheap on aliexpress. This however didn't seem to fix the problem with my old garage desktop pc, which is strange. Another thing with the imm-6 is that when equalizing some speakers flat with measurements taken with it, the sound comes out as wrong, which makes me wonder wether the microphone isn't actually linear or if the DAC itself is not in its microphone input, or if the soundcard isn't (even though my laptop output sounds fine "by ear", i should probably test it with a loopback).
I used REW to create a calibration for my laptops internal sound card using a Y adapter to do the loopback. I later figured out that the cal file was putting 2 (large) low frequency peaks into all of my readings.
@@AudioTomReviews interesting; in my case i didn't calibrate the soundcard, but it somehow gave me wrong results even in the midrange; i applied an EQ calculated by REW on a speaker with a DSP and measured it on axis, the measurement was dead flat but there was harshness in the midrange and treble (where it compensated for a 8KHz hole that maybe was present only on axis)
Thank you very much! I repair INTERNAL ERROR on my rx-v373 using NO PROTECT menu. But the buttons are not the same. To enter NO PROTECT menu I holded TONE CONTROL and STRAIGHT + POWER. Also the same PROGRAM LEFT RIGHT to go trough the menu to 22.SW:PCB. To set SW:MODEL also press STRAIGHT and RADIO button to choose model.

I have some problem. But change of ban and works. But to works electry chokcs. And now not what happen???
you are Absolutely correct, that's how it works. Thanks for sharing
The biggest improvement in sound seems to come from the choke in series with the bass speaker. The speaker has a reflex port that appears to have been designed in the shape of a horn loudspeaker to impress laymen. The bass speaker has a very small magnet. This makes it unsuitable for a bass reflex speaker. You should close the reflex port. To get rid of the still extreme peak at 6000 Hz, try reversing the polarity of the tweeter in relation to the midrange driver and / or leave out one of the two 1 microfarad capacitors in the tweeter branch.
