NAD 3240PE VERY weak right channel

danter · 14th January 2008, 01:09 PM

Hi,
First post, keen amateur who can solder but doesn't really know much beyond absolute basics.

So any pointers in the right direction. Just picked up a NAD 3240 at auction at a very reasonable price, only to discover that the right channel is very weak - I thought at first non-existent until I had the balance all the way right and the volume cranked up.

The unit is in excellent cosmetic condition. Virtually flawless so I am keen to try and get this working. Tried A,B, A+B speaker output combos - all the same. Ran the CD through the tuner input as well to be sure - same issue.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Will open it up and check the soldering around the speaker terminal etc (most basic of stating points?).
Cheers,
D

The thing you hear in the right channel may be "cross talk" from the left channel.... Then the problem could be at the input selector or input stage of the amp.

Good luck and let us know
