ok i dont know much about home stereo receivers so maybe someone can help.
the problumim having is when i hook up my spekers to my receiver left turmenals A or B it makes the speakers sound blown but the right sounds fine. now both sides are starting to do it.
also befor the warranty was up i sent it in because if the volume nob got turned by hand or remote it made a staticy sound they sent it back but they never fixed it. now that the audio is coming out sounding blown the nob dosent seem to make a staticy sound.
anyone know how i can fix the prob. Thank you

Hi skullkeeper,
Your fault may not be the volume control. It could be bad relay contacts that connect the speakers, or bad solder joints. Do you play it loud enough that it cuts out?
I moved your thread to the Solid State section where it will get more attention.

A and B come from the same amplifier.
Is it out of warranty now?

Hi skullkeeper,
It is possible that the speaker leads touched if they were not dressed properly. If you have a chip type output, it may be damaged. Transistor (or discrete output stages can be repaired, chip types need the entire chip replaced).
What is the model number?

yea i know it sucks. any ideas what i can do or try? im pritty good with electronics but new to stereos?
Hi skullkeeper,
Okay, start by troubleshooting your stereo. Figure out weather you have cracked solder joints, bad relay contacts or distorted audio.
Do you have a 'scope? A good DVM?

Hi skullkeeper,
A DVM is a Digital VoltMeter. A good one is usually a Fluke.

A 'scope is an oscilloscope. You can see what waveforms look like related to time.

i just thought of something tell me if this sounds right.
one day i took the covr off to see if i could see what was wrong. i played around with the speaker plugs and it strted working right gain but by the time i got the cover back on put it back on the table its on and hooked the speakers back up turned it on it started sounding bad again. doesnt that sound like it would be a solder joint to you?

quite probably the solder joints where the speaker terminals attach then... could be worth just reflowing them with a soldering iron and see if it helps
Yes,
Also check the relay contacts if it has one. Solder joints can also be bad there. Be suspicious of any large component or component attached to a heat sink. There is ample opportunity for those connections to crack.

im thinking about just following from the speaker turminals forward the best i can looking for solder joints that look bad.
