Hello, I have a pretty decent Marantz 2285B from a guy. He said it wasn't working right.
Right now the condition of the receiver is it will receive input, play but the right channel will sound like bass distortion (like when you play volume too loud on the bass).
What I have done are:
My question is am I on the right path? I think the problem is in the pre-amp board, and plan on dealing with it accordingly. I am new at this. I can solder fine, and can read schematic somewhat (slow). Thank you for any suggestions.

What I have done are:
- cleaned all the switch and the pot (Deoxit, I did take faceplate off to access the pre-amp section)
- took off the relay and clean it with a bit of deoxit and very fine sand paper and then reinstall it.
- switched the speakers and input around and confirmed that it only stay on the right channel (both system).
