I just got a pre-owned Rotel RA-04, that is around 8 years old but was used for a maximum of 1 year. I connected it to a set of inexpensive satellite speakers and only the right channel was working. Then I was fiddling with the buttons and it seems pressing or turning the volume button makes the left channel work sometimes. There is also a noise in the left channel and it plays (when it plays) quieter than the right channel. I found a thread on this forum where people faced similar issues (with a different amp) and fixed them by replacing fuses. I opened the unit to check for any blown up fuses, but everything looked all right. Another suggestion was to clean the "potentiometer(s)". Can someone please help me on how to find and clean it?
Also, is there any way I can ascertain that the amplifier is working fine before I connect more expensive equipment to it.
