Yamaha CR-2020 tech question

[Doug S]

Hi all. I'm new here and not very tech-savvy, so excuse me if I am asking something simplistic. I have a Yamaha CR-2020 hooked up to a pair of Advent small loudspeakers. I play only vinyl through the tuner, on a Denon DP-45F turntable. I have nothing else connected to the tuner. My issue is that whenever I turn on the tuner to play an LP, the right speaker is either very quiet or mute. I find that I have to mess around on the back of the tuner with the Coupler toggle switch to get the speaker to pop on. I am trying to figure out if this is a tuner issue, a speaker issue, the turntable, some combination of the three, or something else. Any help or advice anyone can offer would be great. I spent a decent amount of money on this tuner a couple of years ago and don't want to have to start again.

Welcome to AK Doug
Clean the coupler switch contacts with deox-.it. It is notorious for getting dirty and causing channel cut outs.
The CR-2020 is a Receiver.Combination Tuner and integrated amplifier.

Thank you. I will try that.
I hope I didn't post this thread in the wrong place. If so, apologies.
