The first thing I would try is swapping the speaker wires on the back of the amp and see if the problem moves as well. Then you know what your speakers or speaker wire. If that's not the case, then try switching the left and right
from your sources and see if the problem follows. This should get you a pretty good idea of what's wrong

SOURCE: I have a Cambridge Azur

Yes, you are right. That's a protection feature to prevent burnouts. Typically it appears when your speakers are sucking up a lot of load from the amp. Please check your speaker impedance and the amps' output impedance and ensure the wiring are properly done. Some amps are soo sensitive that they may cut-off after certain level due to overload.

SOURCE: cambridge azur amp 640a working

Looks like the fuse blown.. or the classic symptom of electrical fault inside the amp. 640A uses a sensitive protection circuit often ends up in this irritating situation. Normally, there is nothing much you can do, but just check your wall plug connection for Open Ground or Left & Neutral reversed issues. If the wall plug is free of error, then you should better contact CA technical support.

I cannot open my cambridge audio 640A compact disc

This is a common issue with all belt-drive cd players, all you have to do is to change that belt and you should be done, or take it to a shop for servicing, as this is a part of a simple service maintenance routine, cheap fix though.

Right channel not working

An idication of a faulty headphone socket if the headphones being inseted cuts off the speakers. Otherwise a faulty switch that switches the speakers off.

HI, Can the Cambridge Audio 640a integrated amp be used as a preamp if I buy a separate power amp.

Of course, just run an audio RCA pair out from the Pre Out to your next amp and any input. All control for volume, tone, etc will remain with the 640A.

I have cambridge audio azur 640a amp. Problem I have is only the one speaker is working. Both speakers seem to be ok working off the left speaker terminal. Seems to be problem with output from right...

The fault is on the amp! It sounds like the protection circuit is detecting a surge on the channel and shuts it down to protect the speaker. I would check the semiconductor device(s) for the right channel on the heatsink of the amp. You might even see damage of burning on one!
