Left channel goes on and off.

Left channel speaker goes on and off. Seems to be affected by phono plugs in amplifier. All wiring is clean and properly fixed.

(I can sometimes bring the channel back by re inserting the phono plugs. And I have a CD which almost always gives sound in both channels. (Joe Henry: ''Fuse'') Otherwise, it's hit and miss.

Well, if messing with the RCA cables affects the problem what does that suggest? Have you tried swapping the Left with the Right to see if it follows the cable or stays with the component?

Turntable only playing sound from one speaker.

It could be like you said cartridge (could be a bad connector and cartridge ok) or bad contacts in amp switch try switching it a few times? also check the phono plugs coming out of the turntable sometimes the metal bit breaks off on the centre pin .If you have a multimeter check across the phono plugs to measure cartridge coil resistance both channels should be the same.You could try swapping the leads around and if the sound swaps L/R that would mean fault on turntable no sound would mean one side of amp down.

GAS Ampzilla amplifier One channel of the amp was shorted by the speaker wires. Is there an internal fuse that would have blown or do you otherwise know what may have been affected?

use bigger speaker wires! If you're brave, hook the speaker directly to the battery! Look for smoke( if you're still standing) and if you are smoking, replace your spark plugs! Oh, and just get a can of coke or pepsi whatever and clean your cables

HOW TO CONNECT THE PHOENIX AUDIO CONNECTOR TO A STEREO RECIEVER

From what I have seen of the green phoenix plugs, is that they have 3 connectors. 1 is right 2 is left and 3 is earth. Most Receivers use RCA phono plugs with leads that have phono plugs each end So you would have to cut off the plugs of one end of the lead and bear the wire then attach it to your green plug. Unless they make adapter leads!

C370 faint crackling sound left channel

have you tried looking at your phono leads,turn volume down until it is low enough that you can still hear the music playing,give the phono leads a turn to see if its a loose connection.if not,try the right channel phono in the left channel to see if this fixes your problem.also you could do the same with your speaker leads and see if that solves the issue.maybe a bad connection is the cause?.it may also help to try and move your cd player away from your amplifier.it could also have been overdriven (played too loud for too long) on the night of the party,only you will know if this was the case or not.

Im trying to hook up a paradigm pdr-12 to my tv and xbox 360 and need an idea of how to do this the right way so it only plays the bass and nothing else

Hello there this subwoofer has a built in crossover variable from 50hz to 150hz which means that any signal you feed it the sub it will ignore anything but bass anyway.

As for the connection it is made quite difficult if you don't already have an amplifier powering your other speakers, usually home cinema amplifiers have a low level pre out for subwoofers, for which you would just need a phono to phono cable.

However if it doesn't and you have any type of amplifier with at least 2 separate left and right speakers you can connect the wires from these into the subwoofer and it will output the bass from these 2 channels.

Another option is to use a mono to stereo (2 to 1) phono cable where the 2 connectors at one end connect to a tape or record output on your amplifier and the single phono at the other connects to the subwoofer, the same would go if you have a red & white phono (RCA) output on your TV you could also use this to power the sub, in the worst case scenario you could use a single to single phono or rca cable to connect one of the output channels (left or right) on your TV to the subwoofer however this would mean that the subwoofer would only output bass from either the left or right channel.


Hope this helps


Kind Regards

Ant

The ground wire connects to the ground terminal on the back of the receiver. You use it if you have a problem with hum on the phonograph input (normally the shields in the red and white audio cables are sufficient). The ground wire does not affect whether the record player runs.

Turntables are somewhat delicate. If you look underneath, there are may be a couple of screws that are supposed to be set to the transport position before you move it. These lock the turntable mechanism so you are less likely to have problems. Perhaps the person who sold it to you did this to protect your investment. It may not work until you rotate the transport lock screws to the operating position.

Double check your power cord to make sure it's plugged in (if it is detachable, it may be loose at the turntable end). Another possibility (belt driven models) is the belt came off - you'd have to remove the bottom cover to look for that.

I have 4 speaker wires, black green red white speaker left + speaker right + speaker left - speaker right - which cable goes where?

4 speaker wires, black, green, red, white ;speaker left +speaker right +speaker left -speaker right. First see what pair of speaker wires go to left the channel of the amplifier. One of each speaker must be connected to each amplifier´s channel, no matter of colors of the wires. Two wires for each speaker to each channel of the amplifier (rear panel + and -). Then you will have 4 wires connected to 2 stereo channels of your amplifier. Two wires for each speaker.

How do i install it it was a hand me down with no instructions

http://dl.owneriq.net/a/a44b260d-f7bb-4ae7-bd9f-5a4722cb9427.pdf

in general

the positive terminal is connected to the positive of the battery

the negative terminal is connected to a metal grounding point on the car ( find a metal spot on the car to connect the negative terminal of amplifier)(do not connect it to the negative side of the battery)

the remote terminal connects to either the remote line from the back of the radio blue and white wire

if the radio does not have a remote wire then use the red wire which is the acc (check this against your car wiring)

the speakers are simple connect the positive of radio to positive terminal ect

and the input comes from the radio as a phono jack connect that to the input of the input of the amplifier right left ect ect also if the radio has only left and right then you need a splitter for the phono cable because your amp is 4 channel

if the radio does not have phono jacks then you need to take the output that usually goes to the speakers and route them to the amp and attach pho no jacks on them
