Right channel distorted denon UDRA M7

The left channel works fine, the right channel is distorted, above very low level volume. I have switched speakers and cables and the distortion remains on the right channel.

Hello there, I have the same amplifier and now it has the same problem on the right output. Have you found out how to fix it? Thanks!

I'd suspect that one of the two output transistors on that channel has gone bad. If you are unsure how to test or troubleshoot this, then you might try replace both the NPN and PNP outputs and catch the bad one that way. If your amp uses an output module then you would of course have to replace the module which would replace all the output transistors on both channels. Good luck. Another thing to look out for, is the emitter bias resistors. They are the large white ceramic ones near the outputs. Sometimes one of those will open up too. They will be of a very small resistance value like .5 ohms (point five ohms) or something in that general ballpark, and have a wattage value of typicaly 5 watts. So they are pretty big resistors. Be sure to check them all even if you do find a bad output transistor. They will often go out with the transistor. Good luck.

try to invert your speakers cables and connect your right speaker cable to left output if the problem still happened you will have a problem in your amp and ask for help from good service center near you-------if the problem disappear you will have a problem in left channel----cable or speaker.

SOURCE: Muffled/bad sound on 1 channel of Marantz PM4400 amplifier

Go directly to the main amp, follow the leads from the speaker terminals. And you should find something on an heatsink. If there are two transistors see if they are running hotter than the other channel. If you see any damage to them (compare with good channel) replace both!
If all you see is a black box with pins coming out of it you need to replace that. They sometimes have the letters STK on them.
Replace both types with the letters and numbers of the same type. IE 2SC 1220 or STK 589.

Sounds like you have lost the power amp transistor(s) or IC for this channel.

SOURCE: i have a denon pma

Just have a look around first. Remember the left channel will be the same as the right, so if it doesn't look the same in the right as the left you have the cause of the problem. Resistors are good at causing it, but transistors can too.

How do I add a 2 channel amp to a Denon avr 2307ci

To add a 2-channel amplifier to your Denon AVR 2307ci receiver, you can follow these general steps:
1. Determine the amplifier connection type: Check the specifications of your 2-channel amplifier and identify the available input and output options. Common connection types include RCA (analog) and speaker wire (for binding posts or terminals).
2. Identify the pre-out connections on your Denon AVR: Locate the pre-out connections on the back of your Denon AVR 2307ci receiver. These are typically labeled as "Pre Out" or "Preamp Out" and may be color-coded. You will need to find the pre-out connections for the front left and right channels.
3. Connect the RCA cables: If your amplifier has RCA inputs, use RCA cables to connect the pre-out connections of the Denon AVR to the corresponding inputs on the amplifier. Connect the left channel pre-out on the Denon to the left channel input on the amplifier, and do the same for the right channel.
4. Connect the speaker wires: If your amplifier uses speaker wire connections, connect the front left and right speaker outputs of the Denon AVR to the corresponding inputs on the amplifier using speaker wire. Make sure to observe the proper polarity (positive and negative) when connecting the wires.
5. Configure the Denon AVR settings: Access the setup menu of the Denon AVR by using the remote control or the front panel display. Navigate to the audio settings or speaker configuration section. Look for an option to enable "Preamp Mode" or "Preamp Outputs." Enable this option to ensure that the front left and right channels are redirected to the pre-out connections.
6. Set the amplifier to the correct input: If your amplifier has multiple inputs, select the input that corresponds to the connection from the Denon AVR.
7. Adjust volume and settings: After completing the connections, you may need to adjust the volume levels on both the Denon AVR and the amplifier. Use the Denon AVR as the primary volume control and adjust the amplifier's volume accordingly.
It's important to consult the user manuals for both your Denon AVR 2307ci and the 2-channel amplifier to ensure proper setup and compatibility. If you're uncertain about any specific steps or settings, it's advisable to consult the manuals or reach out to Denon customer support for assistance.

Denon AVR 1508 distortion on left channels

I have a different model, but sometimes suffer this when power outages or other strange things happen. Its usually the microprocessor getting confused and not doing its job properly, once none of the speakers came on at atll!
In the handbook, it will tell you how to do a factory reset - that always sorts mine (Same brand, Denon). Just a pain setting it all up again.
You should be able to find a PDF version of the handbook online if your's is misplaced in the house move.

Str-gx800es sony receiver problem- right channel speaker sound is 'static', low and distorted. I have checked checked all speaker and output/input source cable connections with no luck. All left channel...

If you have checked the speakers and wiring, the right channel has a audio driver or output problem, which explains the low volume, static, and distortion. A service technician will be required to fix the receiver so it will balance the left side.

The volume on the left channel on my old (20+ yrs) Denon stereo receiver is too low intermittently, usually until it warms up from use, and sometimes after. Ideas?

Problems of this nature are often caused by electrolytic coupling capacitors. If you have access to an audio signal generator. Inject signal at volume control and compare left and right output levels. This will isolate fault to pre amp stage or power output stage. freezer can be very usefull in isolating this type of fault.

Hi, I have a second hand NAD 3240PE amplifier, the right channel has an intermitent crackle but the left channel is fine, Any ideas as to what might be causing this problem?

Crackling is usually a dirty control. Try using an electronics cleaner (with lubricant) and spray out all of the controls and switches. With the unit off, work the controls and switches back and forth to "spread" the lubricant. I would spray, work and spray again.

Update this with the results and also see if the crackling is related to the overall volume level. If tied to the volume level, there could be a transistor inside that is breaking down and causing distortion.

How do I hook up a turntable

You may have two possibilities depending on the configuration of the turntable.
Your Denon should have inputs marked for 'Aux,' 'Line' and possibly, if it is built with the expectation of use with a turntable, 'Mag' or 'Magnetic.'
Your turntable may have a 'Line' output or only a shielded cable carrying a very small voltage from the magnetic head. I assume the pickup is magnetic and not crystal which has a much higher output level but also a higher impedance that requires a matching input.
You should have any of the above outputs in pairs and if the color coding conforms to current standards, there should be in- and outputs marked with red (right channel) and white (left channel).
I would first try connecting the turntable's leads to the 'Line' input since most later turntables have a small amplifier circuit built in that will take the signal from the pickup, amplify it, and match it to the levels and impedance of the line input on the Denon.
There isn't any danger of making a fatal mistake and you should hear right away if there is excessive distortion or a loudness even when the level is set to a low setting; this implies that the output from the turntable is higher than that input wants to see.
