Re: i can not get my radio in to adjustment mode
Many of the driver boards have either no or very little heat sink compound on them.
Be careful with the board as they are no longer available.

Not only does CI-V have to be shorted, you have to hold down the Pre Amp and Tuner buttons simultaneously with turning it on. The 7000 is a difficult radio to work on in the adjustment mode so good

Re: i can not get my radio in to adjustment mode
I guess that if there is something amiss in the initial programming of the radio then resetting it will not rectify the problem.

Once again I wish you all the best.

Re: i can not get my radio in to adjustment mode
Hi Dave, Hoffy here, just double checking that the 1/8th plug that you are using has been "shorted" as per the instruction of the manual.
Cheers and all the best,
