ZAWWIN , Upon rereading your original letter I decided tdo the obvious , ya know , the things I learned about 25 years o ago in high school and college . Jack LaLane is right " Use it or lose it !!" The intermittent loss was caused by the seldom used filter switch for frequency rolloff , namely the 9KHz . On my 1969 Fisher I Worked all switches and buttons before a listening session to get the cleanest sound I could . Well , a wife and children later I must be getting a little less fanatic about my music . Time to rekindle the audio fire , it's not too late . Once again thank you , you are a ZAWINNER . May GOD richly bless you .

Your channel problem is caused by oxidation on controls,switches and the protection relays.When you fiddle with the volume control you are increasing the signal voltage to overcome the oxidation and the sound will come back on. Then the cycle will start again.As a Marantz servicer for 25 yrs. here is my suggestion.Take your unit to a reputable servicer and ask them to clean all the controls,switches and the relay contacts and treat them with CREMOLIN D5.If you need additional help email me at [email protected]. |
