Hi guys,

I am very much a newbie so please be patient !
My Technics player is apparently only playing on one channel - total silence from 1 speaker. Given that everything is fine with all other inputs [eg another CD player, tuner, etc], my initial thought was a problem with one channel on the player.
So to confirm this [or so I thought] I swapped over the player's output jacks expecting the problem to immediately swap speakers. It did not !

Help please.

Mike

If it were the cd player at fault, the problem would have changed channels
when you changed the L-R orientation of the cable. Sounds like the CD input
of the receiver / amp is faulty. Probably a bad solder connection at the
input jack.

Speakers and the rest of the syatem are all OK as other inputs [eg

Thanks for that Mark.
What you said is exactly what I expected however I have now tried the CD player on 2 totally different systems and get the same result - sound from R speaker only irrespective of which way around the output jacks are from the CD player !!!!
Is it possible that there could be a problem with the CD player output in that somehow there is some sort of 'crossover' between the L and R channel ?
Certainly doesnt make any sense to me at all.
Thanks again.
Mike

Mike,

you will have to get some sort of logical way of testing your system sorted
and have it clear in your head. It is not possible for the CD faulty side
to suddenly crossover to the other.

Look, you have one faulty cable or connector. Swap connections around and
when the fault has gone to the other side, step back and think about what
has just happened. It may seem perplexing but it's just pure logic.

I'm starting to think both the output jacks on the Technics cd player are
bad, and one channel or the other punches through as a result of plugging /
unplugging cables. The solder connections of the player should be resoldered
for good measure, and if necessary the receiver as well. Sometimes the
connections will have an eyelet broken in an almost invisible manner which
only becomes apparent when soldered. For this reason a visual inspection may
not be definitive.
