Suddenly No Analog Sound in/out - HDR1 or HDR1+ ? (but all Digital in/out is working fine)

- then there is possibly a fuse blown. The following DO NOT affect the Digital/Hard Drive Power Supply, which is fused separately internally.

Unplug the power cord.

  • Check the fuse on the back of the unit. This fuse is for power to the Analog Power Supply. - imperative to replace with same rating.

Rear Panel:-

  • 220V: T80mA, time-lag (IEC127-2/III) (5 x 20 mm) -
  • 110V: T175mA, time-lag, slow blow, delay (5 x 20 mm)
  • Check the mains voltage selector switch at the back of the unit. Do not do this with the Power Cord connected. This switch is for power to the Analog Power Supply. If the switch isn’t set correctly, the fuse at the back of the unit could blow. Occasionally the voltage selector contacts can fail (by corrosion) and moving it up/down rapidly several times 'wipes' the contacts and restores the connection.
  • If that is ok & still no sound, then there are some more fuses inside on the Analog Power Supply - Do not do this with the Power Cord connected - which is just behind the LED's on the front panel, underneath the right side removeable drive bay, if you have that, and can be a bit tricky to access - imperative to replace with same rating.
  • Analog PSU: - Both Fuses 0.315AT ( = T315mA time lag) (5 x 20 mm)

If the above are OK, or still blowing, then there may be some other problem with the Power Supply or Motherboard or Bal Option... consult a technician.

Fuses sometimes look good .... but don't work, & are best checked for continuity with any variety of testers available.....

Unplug the power cord.

  • Check the fuse on the back of the unit. This fuse is for power to the Analog Power Supply. imperative to replace with same rating.

Rear Panel:

  • 220V: T160mA, time-lag (IEC127-2/III) (5 x 20 mm)
  • 110V: T375mA, time-lag, slow blow, delay (UL198G) (5 x 20 mm)
  • Check the mains voltage selector switch at the back of the unit. Do not do this with the Power Cord connected. This switch is for power to the Analog Power Supply. If the switch isn’t set correctly, the fuse at the back of the unit could blow. Occasionally the voltage selector contacts can fail (by corrosion) and moving it up/down rapidly several times 'wipes' the contacts and restores the connection.

If the above is OK, or still blowing, & still no sound, then there is a fault with the Analog Option Board.... consult a technician.
