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.

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.

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.

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.
