surround sound question

[4thgenphil]

Right i know drokk all about this crap except for how to turn the thing on and off

my surrond sound is a few years old now and was working perfectly, then didnt

symptoms:

it sound like you are underwater on all but the PLM 1,2 + 3 sound settings (i have no idea what PLM means) its the option where you can choose between church, studio and such the like.

is the AMP ballsed?

just to add its not just for the tv either, it does it for all the inputs

I end up buying a new surround amplifier every few years because of this.
The fact that yours works on certain settings means there may be some hope.

Try re-wiring all the speakers and make sure all plugs and connections are secure.
Maybe re-set the unit back to factory default.

Other than that I can't help you, sorry.

well you could open it up

check solder points and traces, replace some caps if your handy with a soldering iron

I bought techinics amp about 10 years ago, used it ever since I paid quite a lot about £220 when it was new

still going strong..

I did this with my last one and couldn't find anything untoward. No bulging caps!!
I replaced it with a second-hand Denon. It's HUGE and old-fashioned but sounds great.

one of these?

[Lude-dude]

yes just put some flux on the end

my techinics is old ish,

I think the older stuff is built better, but caps do wear out eventually

I fixed one of my old stereo's by resoldering the rca connection bit, it crackled everytime I move the cable

so its worth having a go if your gonna throw it away
