Pioneer XC-L7 Stereo CD Receiver teardown 

That LM3886 was a surprise, maybe the best chip there is out there.

The recycling center here is just like Fort Knox, you can't take anything. But at least there are the e-waste collection bins in the shops, in some place you can check them out without being annoyed by the security dudes.

I got one of these systems for free last year minus the cassette deck. Works perfect and just needs the cable to connect the subwoofer

Awesome video as usual.

I have this full system, I bought it second hand some years ago from a local carboot sale for very little money!, The CD player has just packed in working, It's been linked to my pc for listening to music online so can use the CD drive on my pc, I've always like it but i've worked in a foundry for over 40 years and the tinnitus is louder than the amplifier!!☺ Enjoyed watching this very interesting video though i'm not a techie or electronics engineer!, many thanks 👍😎

Great info

I had the exact one gifted to me from my grandma like 10 years ago, it had a really fancy external display and an external tape deck. The CD drive didnt work and the cassette desk only worked if you hit it a bit from the top. Never got to fixxing it i was way too young.

Granddaughter !! Oh Dr. Cassette you card you. 😁😆😂😄🤣😅

I recently got this cd player from my dad and it works rather well for 25 year old gear. Some of my CDs work perfectly fine but some, including neat ones, glitch very hard (glitches from the start to a random track or time, then gets to the end or the record). It probably has something to do with the lazer lense from the info i've gathered. I'm not really familiar with electronics, but already did things that needed me to partially disassemble and reassemble a guitar amp for example. Despite me being inexperienced with such devices, should I try disassembling the thing to clean the lense a bit and see if it works? Thanks for the video by the way, couldnt hope for a better one on such a specific piece.

I have one of these with the small control section and all 3 speakers. The sub-woofer sounds great. I came here hoping to find out how to fix the cd player. Everything else works really well. Perhaps the cd player has the same problem as the one on the video I was hoping the replacement of a cog or some such mechanical part would get things going. Although the video was enjoyable I am still searching for a solution to my problem. This is

why you didn't connect it to mains first to see what would happen?

Very late use of the old Pioneer logo, it was changed to the new one that same year 1998, presumably later in the year.

Muito top esses vídeos 👍👍👍👍👍

I was surprised to find the LM3886 powering the 8" bass driver's in my 3 way powered studio monitors from Fostex! The chip amplifiers used for the midrange and tweeter were shielded and I wasn't willing to disturb it so I didn't get to find out what they were but judging by the shape of them, they were something different.... There should be a lot of amplifier boards, possibly in kit form on eBay that you could use to make use of that IC if you chose to go that path. I'm sure that John audio tech has covered the LM3886 extensively on his channel and possibly even suggested some improvements over and above the eBay kit's... Might be worth investigating... I have salvaged plenty STK'S and other chip amplifiers like the lm3886 and TDA2030A's, they are very common but they also have a great sound to them. It would be interesting to see what you end up doing with this... I was wondering about the idea of using that power supply and amplifier in it's original case as just a power amplifier but replacing the front fascia with a piece of thicker aluminium with a power button and possibly even level meters? Apart from the face modification, all the hard work is already done by pioneer! The case is a good size and shape and actually looks pretty good! Saves you time from having to build one from scratch! And saves from sending stuff to the tip...

Keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate

DrCassette ....you dont like STK amplifiers ? i love them...sound good !!

Its got an optical out can be plugged into any amp that supports Optical input.

grand-daughterboards :P

lm3886...yeah my next project ;-)

Apenas falla el mio, lo lleve segun a reparar y me lo dejaron peor 😢😢ya ni prende

Are you going to try cleaning that "House" CD-R using toothpaste with cotton balls? I tried that on a few of my CDs and it seems to work for me. That's something I've learned from the RU-vid videos.

I got the same tuner module and I controlled it via arduino.

I have the amp, tuner CD player, speakers,the complete set up and sub

Nice where are you? Last year I found the matching pieces but NOT the CD player part! This was at a Salvation Army thrift store and they wanted way too much for it even though it was not all there, so naturally I left it.

This system sometimes sells for as low as 20 EURO? Too bad quite possibly they only pop up occasionally, I presume. Quite disappointing to you to find this is of negligible value, but I desperately want to grab one even at twice as much!

They still used ELNA and Nichicon Caps not bad compared to todays China crap Capxon etc.

Hast Du ein neues Mikrofon? Deine "S" Zischlaute sind ziemlich unangenehm.

Im trying to find for 20$
