Hi guys,
My current CD Player replaced a previous Marantz - a CD6000SE KI Signature that started playing up about a year ago. From memory it was refusing to play discs as they just skipped, but spurred on by reading this forum I thought I would be brave and open it up and see if I could see any obvious problem. On firing it up yesterday, the discs play fine, but the left channel is lower on volume, and the bass very distorted.
This is the player with the cover off. The eagle eyed may already see what I think is the problem...

I found a clue underneath the bar: Smoke damage?

And the "capacitor"? (I'm not technical) - roughly in the middle has white gunk around the bottom? Would this be the problem?

How easy would this be to fix if it is likely to be the issue?
There might be the same stuff near the gold one above and to the left?
Any advice appreciated - I would like to repair the player to re-use with my now liberated Audiolab amp as a 2nd system, if it won't cost a fortune to do...
