Musical Fidelity A 3.5 no sound on right channel.

Using the tape monitor an amplifier uses a different connected audio circuit .


Another poster I was helping -different amplifier but same result had to trace it till he came to the fault , he didn't get back to post the final result of his tracing .


It could be related to the tape monitor switch or mode switch but it still could be a component fault.
 
Both of those are digitally and physically connected internally and transfer an analogue signal to a digital switched signal thereby operating a system controlled section of the chip .



In other words they take the place of a manual switch using digital intelligence .


I am no expert on digital except where it interfaces with analogue , I am sure somebody here is , but basically if what goes in doesn't come out then the internal switch is not receiving the signal to change it to a digitally closed state or it is receiving it and its not doing its job of transfer and is therefore faulty.


As its a switch ( of sorts ) then try applying the signal to the out pin to see if it then travels to the rest of the amplifier .


There must be some guys here who repair this type of digital switch daily as part of their business who will be more "enlightened " in the field of digital processing than me.


As the guy never came back to say he had found the fault I don't know how much help his post would be , he did eliminate the manual switching sections but his chip wasn't the same as yours although the symptoms are the same.
