Can someone explain what is causing this on my Marantz PM 4200 amp please.
Picked it up on " that auction site " in mint condition and obviously looked after the only issue being the volume tracks were so dirty at anything beyond one o "clock the remote motor was incapable of turning the knob past that point, soon sorted with Deoxit and now smooth and flawless .
However there is an issue ,not really a problem i'd just like to know the cause
The amp is turned off at the wall outlet when not in use and on/off using the front panel button when used and not the remote standby function.
If i use the amp regularly for example with only a 48 hr period between cycling the power upon pushing on theres an instant click followed by the last source used led lighting up then a few seconds later another relay click and the amps good to go.
For longer periods of inactivity start - up works slightly differently , push on and nothing happens for maybe 5 seconds then a click and the power on indicator lights up a few more seconds and the source led lights followed by a second click then a third relay clicks and its ready to play.
Any advice on this would be much appreciated
