Beocord VX 5000/VX 5500

23rd December 2009

A streaky picture lacking in detail was caused by C1564 (10uF) being open circuit, although oddly there was no sign of electrolyte leakage. In some cases a further small improvement in performance can be obtained by adding a 100nF ceramic capacitor between pins 2 and 5 of IC1526. Another machine displayed poor synchronisation of the OSD graphics in E-E mode, this was cured by replacing C1545 (10uF). [Beocord VX 5000, Beocord VX 5500]
