Benjie Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Like it says. Just arrived in good condition from eBay seller. Everything lights up and clicks. I’ve tried A and B speaker terminals. Also headphone jack doesn’t work. Any thoughts before I send it back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P. Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Generate a signal with ALL the sources; maybe you've got a Tape Monitor switch engaged, or it has pre in/out jacks without shorting jumpers? (I know it's a receiver and not an amp, but I've seen weirder things.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Man sorry about that. Contact seller and see if he/she will call you so maybe you guys together could trouble shoot. Hopefully just a simple switch to flip or connection. Look to see if the jumpers from main in/preout are in place. Bill 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Just looking at my photo I posted gets me all sad😥 that I sold my R-117. As you can see the rear(and front) looks spanking brand new. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I would love to get my R-117 fixed, but wouldn't know where to send it. Right channel cuts out after about a half an hour of play, and the fuse holder got damaged while being stored downstairs. Really upset about the latter, I should have done a better job with storage. So, how could the seller claim the unit worked before he sent it, if the jumpers weren't in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have been using the preouts to an external amp but could not imagine why with such a powerful beast. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Thanks Bill got it working by using a pair of RCA cables for a temporary fix. Next problem left speaker cuts out and I hear static when moving volume knob. I looked up how to clean the volume pot and ordered a bottle of Deoxit D5. Seems like a simple fix. I’m actually taking it to a guy here in Little Rock Monday. Gonna have him take a look at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triceratops Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think the Luxman R-117 is a truly great receiver and it sounds excellent with Klipsch. One potential problem to be on the lookout for: there is a relay inside that is part of the signal path. Over time the relay contacts can get contaminated and this makes the signal break-up intermittently. It's just a bad connection but it can actually sound like distortion, similar to what sometimes happens with a dirty pot. The fix is supposedly pretty straightforward, although I personally have not done it. The cover is taken off the relay and then a sheet of paper wetted with a solvent is pulled back and forth between the contacts. Or some folks use a very fine abrasive paper, and then a solvent on regular paper. If all this fails, the next step would be to replace the relay itself. I hope you get it worked out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toz Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Absolutely agree on the speaker relay. People switch the power off with the volume up and I've read that that carbons up the switch contacts. I just fixed the same issue on a big Onkyo Integra. I had to de-solder the relay to get to it, but I did modify the relay cover to make it easy to remove so next time I won't have to remove the relay to clean it. Also for Deang, you could try to adjust the idling current to solve your shutting down issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
