Some amps have pre-set settings that can be adjusted by the user. You should look in the user manual to see if this is the case. Otherwise it could be a fault.

YOU ARE NOT RIGHT IT SHOULD GIVE AT LAEST A LOW VOLUME SOUND WITH A LOT OF DISTORSION AND A CRACKING NOISE IF DOES I GUESS THAT YOU HAD THIS AMP IN A PLACE WITH A LOT OF HUMIDITY AND YOU HAVEN'T WORK IT FOR SOME TIME IF I AM RIGHT PUT YOUR AMP IN THE SUN AND WORK IT FOR 10 MIN WITH A 5 MIN BREAK LET ME KNOW THE RESULTS
Before we throw in the towel, turn it off and exercise every control a lot of times throughout its range, particularly the Tape Selectors. Sometimes oxides will develop on seldom used controls and their 'normally closed' contacts will not pass a signal.
I think the best solution is to remove the jumpers from the Pre Out - Mon In connectors, insert a pair of RCA Y-adapters and plug one end back to the Mon In while the other ends feed the NAD (Page 15 of the manual available at Retrevo.com) . The Rotel's volume and other controls will still be in charge of the NAD.
The manual fails to mention looping the Pre Out back to the Mon In to enable the Rotel's amp to still participate in the program material.
If I understand you, the 'sound' of the AR preamp is what you're trying to preserve. Presumably you're just running a phono through it as nothing else needs a preamp these days.
The multichannel inputs bypass all of the Rotel's processing except the volume. Use the Front L and R.
Some manufacturers allow you to set a max volume limit so you don't blow your ears off. Check the users manual to see how to turn it off.
Also, have tech support install a new potentiometer for you.
Why would it die from being in storage? Oxide or corrosion on contacts, volume potentiometer, Tape Monitor or other switch contacts.
Try manipulating all controls and switches throughout their ranges many times and see what happens.
Check the heaphone jack. If it works so does the right amplifier. While you're at it, insert the headphone jack multiple times to cycle its contacts, too.
Make sure you connected your record player in the right inputs. Better try it to a line level auxilliary input that is sure to pass the volume control. hope this helps..
I have an RX 600 - which has just gone 'phut' - which is how I came today to find this website ! I once had your speaker problem but eventually tracked it down to a bad connection of the speaker cable into the rear of the Receiver. Plastic sheathing and dust was partly in the way. Strip off a bit more plastic to expose fresh bright wire, and remake secure tug-proof connection before you try anything else. Oh, and while you doing it, do the others as well !
