Re[2]: JVC service or questions

This happened to me and I called JVC support and they said that there was an internal problem that I could do nothing about. They located an audiosystems repair shop nearest me and told me to go there to get it fixed. They said that if my purchase date was less than a year ago they would cover the costs.

  It seems as though you have a JVC model HX-D7. Me too and it is doing the agonizing "protect" display. It seems to be a common problem w/ this model and I am not about to pay for JVC's faulty design. If you know what the repair shop fixed, I would be pleased to find out.

    My friend is having the same problem with the CA-HXD7. Sounds like a bad batch of these went out. From what I've found its some kind of faulty resistor. I have no idea what it would cost to have it fixed in a shop, but I can bet it isn't worth it. Poor girl paid $400 at some point for it.

      OK I own one of these that works perfectly. However I bought one at an auction that goes into Protect mode. The problem with these units is that the smart ones at JVC designed this system with 2 mono 100W STKs - nothing wrong with that - but they flopped and attached them both to the same heatsink that is not big enough to dissipate the heat fast enough - even with the fan running. The system will work fine as long as you never run it close to max power for prolonged periods. The STK IC costs over $110X2+shipping=$250+- The new unit cost $249+shipping. Is it worth fixing? If you use non-OEM parts, yes. Elviz
