This is my second one of these as my son (12) seems to be able to kill things!

The left channel is significantly quieter than the right. I have used different speakers, different input ports and a different lead for the bluetooth receiver and It comes up with the same fault on both (A) and (B) speaker outputs.

Is this another case of chuck it in the bin and get another? I'm loathed to do it as it seems like such a waste, but repairers will charge more than it costs to get another second hand unit. Anything obvious to look for if I pop it open?

Does it have a pre-out? If so, you could try with another amp that can function as a power amp and if its the output stage of the Denon that is failing, or if some other component.


If it works fine when using the pre-out to another amp, then you could get a power amp and use that with the Denon? Not sure how cost effective it may be, or what else you have that might be able to use for this (if you have a power amp as example), but it would avoid it going to scrap.

Maybe lookup a 2nd hand power amp on eBay or such?
