Hi there, I am new to the forums and just getting into vintage stereo equipment.
I bought my first receiver, Yamaha CR-800, and I'm having an issue where the left channel cuts in and out at low volumes. When the volume is fairly low there is no sound at all from the left speaker. When the music has more bass or gets louder it will play with some distortion. If I turn up the volume enough, it sounds clear on both speakers. Also, if I jiggle the filter toggles it will sometimes get the speaker to make sound.
This is consistent on phono, FM, AM, and Aux. This is also consistent on different sets of speakers and headphones.
I read some of the forums and tried spraying some deoxit on the pots but it didn't make difference. I am wondering if anyone has any advice or things I should check. Thanks for any help for this noob.
