Hello all,
First post here, but hopefully I'm posting in the right place.
I recently acquired a Beomaster 5000 which seem to work very well, except for a few minor things (that I'm not even sure are problems.) and one big one: there is no output in the right speaker. If I plug in both speakers as left speakers, they both play so it's not a problem with the speaker itself.
But as you can probably guess, listening to stereo records in mono doesn't exactly sound great. The problem persists on both phono, AUX, tape and CD, so I doubt it's the DINs.
Do any of you have any experience with this, and maybe a fix? Or should I just give up on fixing it myself and deliver it in for repairs?
Thank you for your time and help, in advance :)
That.. worked like a charm. You, sir, are a genius.
The obvious downside to this fix is that muting won't work, but I doubt I am ever going to mute the music anyway. :) There aren't any other downsides are there?
If I wanted to get it fixed some day, do you think that would be expensive?
If you can live with the power-on pops from the speakers, it's fine to use it like that.
The repair job isn't too difficult but takes some time, so it may end up costing a bit if you have a service shop do it. You can also try operating the muting function a number of times - in some cases that fixes it, at least for some time.
