Marantz PM6010OSE amplifier, left channel very quiet?

broona · 07-08-2008, 8:59 AM

Turned the amp on today, and the left channel seems to be performing at about 10% of the volume of the right channel, was working perfectly 48 hours ago!

Anyone know if this is a common (and hopefully easily rectified) problem, or will I need to take it to an expert for repair?

PS, I've tried swapping the speaker cables over, just means the right hand speaker runs at 10% volume.....

Does the amp have a balance control?

Yes, it has. If I turn it to the left, I have to turn the volume about halfway up to get decent sound from the left hand speaker, but the right hand speaker is deafening at this level!

The balance control seems to be working OK, right is muted at full left setting, and vice versa.

Switch the speakers just to verify it's the amp. Then take in whatever is broken for repair.
