QuadBob's "Holy Grail" CD-4 Modulator Replacement Instructions

These are the directions for removal/replacement of the
CD-4 demodulator board found in the Sansui
QRX-8001, QRX-9001 & QRX-999
 quadraphonic receivers.

 

STEP ONE - LOCATE BOARD
Remove the BOTTOM of the receiver and flip it over on a safe, solid surface. Look to the side of the unit and you will see the CD-4 Board as indicated above. Carefully remove and safely store the screws that hold the board to the chassis

 

 

STEP TWO - DISCONNECT THE REAR CONNECTOR
You will see that there is one connector on the board that has its harness head off towards the rear of the unit. In the picture above, it is the one circled in red. Remove this connector from the board and protect it from getting pinched or damaged. LEAVE THE OTHER CONNECTORS ON THE BOARD AND LIFT THE OLD BOARD OUT, still keeping it connected to the other wiring harnesses.

 

 

STEP THREE - INSTALL THE REPLACEMENT BOARD
With the old board still connected to the wiring harnesses, install the replacement board into the chassis and secure it with the screws you removed earlier. Make sure the new board is oriented in the same direction as the original board was.

 

 

STEP FOUR - CONNECT THE REMAINING HARNESSES
One at a time, remove each connector from the old board and attach it to the new board. Reconnect the rear connector and replace the bottom panel, making sure that all connectors are seated firmly and that all of the screws are tightened.
 
 
THAT'S IT! YOU ARE DONE!

Package up your old board and ship it back to QuadBob, then let us know how it works out for you in the forum
