Hi

Well it is indeed faulty - on/off switch not working and stuck on with power on also No sound through "A" speakers not tried the others is it worth while fixing any ideas of the fault i really would like to get it going for the collection a real shame to end up as scrap...Red volume light flickering their is relay clicks maybe i am doing something wrong - I am going to book it in for repair heavy beast....

Hi Dan,

Could we have the history of this discussion please, i.e. what brought you to this point? It reads as if it's the continuation of an on-going thread elsewhere, and if you're not 'in the know', as it were, what you've written here doesn't make much sense.

Ta :cool:

Hi,

What i found when i tested the ES amp cant put explain more then this as i have not investigated as i don't want to be mucking around with it. I have found the above problems

On/Off switch not working but the amplifier is stuck powered on - No sound through the speakers using DAT/MD input....will take another look at some point..

I have one of these AV amps and whilst quite old still gives very good SQ (but have not had in a system for a while now). I believe there is a factory reset option somewhere. I did find there were some settings which resulted in no sound from either the A or B speaker outputs. Generally, from memory, simply using stereo mode and Direct Pass resulted in defeating weird AV settings.

Here is a copy of the instruction manual (https://1drv.ms/b/s!Arf68P30ulKQkT-GLHu9k4LP2m5U) in case you don't have it. Good luck. Hope you don't have to have it sent for repair as it may simply not be economic.

Hi Edward

Thank you so much for the advice i have tried this and still the same no sound on either A & B maybe the remote would help i am not sure it was only £10 so maybe worth while booking in for repair...
