Hey guys, I hope this is the right section for this... I'm having issues with an older (I was told '80s) JVC stereo receiver.
It sounded great for a while, and then the right channel sounded like the speaker was blown. However, the speakers sound fine on another receiver, and I've tried other wires too.
It's basically a weak, fuzzy, distorted sound. It doesn't get any better or worse throughout the volume range. And only the right channel.
So I sprayed contact cleaner in the volume sliders, eq sliders, speaker selector switch, etc. No change. Speaker protect fuses are not blown, no obvious signs of failed components on the board.
I was told there are speaker protect relays that sometimes fail, but I don't see any relays in this receiver. I'm hoping someone here will have some experience with this receiver, or just some general troubleshooting tips. I still haven't been able to find a free service manual for it. Guess I should probably just buy it...
Thanks in advance
