AR Sp8 possible breakdown


.Hello everyone, I just bought a SP 8 mk2 and I am not familiar with the startup processes of this device.
The problem is that when it turns on after the 2 minutes of security, the left channel hits a bang and sometimes it takes a few seconds after the other channel to play.
If I turn it on with the mute function on ok and wait a little more than two minutes, I don’t know about this problem.
Should I be concerned?

Cleeds is correct. All ARC units are in mute until the tubes warm up. When the unit wakes up there should not be any "bang" and both channels should wake up together. You need to contact ARC and find out where your local repair shop is.
