What causes distortion on right speaker channel while increasing the volume knob. The right channel maintains distortion during music play for 3 minutes. Then, it disappears!

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.

The good news is that it's in one channel, which means you have the right channel parts to compare it with. Now the bad news whatever causing it and it's likely to be a semi-conductor (transistor or IC) has to be replaced. However finding it is easier than you might think. For a start it's going to be hot to touch. And you can get get it to stop being hot, while the amps on, so correcting the fault, for a while. You do this by spraying it with Servisol Super Freezer spray. You have to have the amp running for this. Find the left channel amp and wait while it goes bad. Then spray (one at a time) any part you suspect. If the sound returns to normal, you have found the faulty part! To prove it spray the same in the right channel. That shouldn't change.
You can get the freezer spray from your local electric parts shop (such as Maplin UK).
