Hello everybody. I have a little problem on my Pioneer SA 608.
The volume is low on the right chanel. I have cleaned all the potentiometers (with kontact cleaner) and it's still here.
The sound is not distorted, only lower on the right chanel. What can I do ? I do have a multimeter.

An amplifier like this would have a bunch of switches in the signal path, from input selection to speaker selector. (I don't remember offhand whether this model also has a protection relay which would be another candidate - if so, tap it in operation with a screwdriver handlee and listen for noises on the output - , but there's definitely a loudness switch as well, and tape monitor.) All of those would be potential candidates as well. Cleaning may not go without taking them apart, which is always tricky business.
BTW, which contact cleaner (just to be sure)? Generally the accumulated crud has to be blown out as well.

Hi sgrossklass, thank for your answer, I used Kontakt 60 from kontakt chemie. I blowned up the crud.
I think I will try to take all the switches appart to clean them all
