Hi, I bought a SANYO MGR-150 from ebay. Now I put a new belt in and tape is running fine.
ReplyDeleteBut the sound is only at one channel. I checked all the switches and the phone jack, they
are ok - so it must be some damage with the PCB. Unfortunately I have no service manual
and I want to ask you if you have one and would like to share it?

Thank you in advance and sunny greetings from berlin

After looking at the two players I think it may be possible that the Sanyo JJ-R2(M-GR150) is a modified hybrid of a Aiwa HS-J8 (HS-J500). They both share very many similarities that seems too coincidental to be by chance. Sanyo did have a partnership with Aiwa so it may be possible? Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteYou should check my post about the "Sanyo Touch MR-JJ11 - Touch JJ" from May 2018 regard the Sanyo collaboration with AIWA, you will find many answers there to your questions. Thanks. TheLion.
DeleteI have also noticed that you have the specifications listed for the JJ-R2 that is has an output power of 20mW total (10mW+10mW), however all the Japanese specifications (the flyers you have here on this page) say it has an output power of 40mW total (20mW+20mW). I am unsure if there is a different specification of the M-GR150 as the spec page for this just says 20mW without saying if that's total or each line. It may be a situation like the Aiwa HS-JX10 vs HS-JX101 where the Japanese version has a higher output than the American counterpart for some reason.
ReplyDeleteHi Lincoln,
DeleteThat's a possibility, but it also looks like the world catalogs and the service manual of the MG-R150 never really bothered to accurately describe the details of their models. I Believe Sanyo is the only brand to manufacture a whole line of products just for the world's customers while top-of-the-line models remain exclusive to the Japanese market. For all brands (maybe except Sony) they prioritize the Japanese market over the World market, the output power is just one of those things. Thank you. TheLion.
