I doubt it is a fuse, but it could be 100 different issues. This is not a DIY repair. If you would like to inquire about repairing your Marantz, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me there,

Hi, before going to the repair shop, you might save yourself some expense by making the following checks. More often than not the problem is a simple one. Be methodical in carrying out the checks.
1. SWAP YOUR SPEAKERS OVER. this will eliminate the possibility that one of them is faulty
2. CHECK THE SPEAKER LEADS. Make sure they are not shorting at the terminals on your amp and also at the back of your speakers.
3.CHECK THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON ALL SOURCE INPUTS. For example you may have a faulty input lead on one of your inputs, lets say aux, try switching to CD input and see if the problem still exists. If not its a faulty input lead on the aux input.
4.THIS AMP CAN DRIVE 4 SPEAKERS USUALY REFFERED TO AS, A and B. If you are only driving 2 speakers say from the A output, try swapping the cables to the B output. Also try switching between the A and B setting on the front of the amp to eliminate the possibility of the selector switch being dirty, (do this with the amp on and a signal being played, if it is the switch the missing channel will intermitently be heard) sometimes this will rectify the problem but if not the pot will need cleaning with a contact spray.
Good luck.

It worked for a week and now im getting no power to my subs

if it stopped suddenly i would check the fuses and work your way back to the where the remote start wire is attached. if you where pushing it hard the fuse is likely. also check the connections on the amp closely.

Left indicator all of a sudden stopped working, right side still working, can not find the fuse to check if a fuse problem.

If one side works it's not the fuse, check the bulbs first and if thats not it change the sending unit.

The right Channel is not working

hello if you are sure that you check everything, speaker,cables input signal.
if this pionner suddenly stops playing in one channel the most probable is in protection not burned so it needs service at repair shop.saludos

Mitsubishi HS-412UR - Audio - Right Channel Not Working Properly

One of the strangest things that has happened to both the consumer and the technical field has been the use of a flexible adhesive on many of these machines' circuit boards. The glue in question is vanilla-colored, and has a tendency to react to electricity by inducing capacitance, resistance, and in some cases, even causing inductance issues. The fix, of course, is to remove as much of this material as possible, and following right behind with a nylon-based retainer. Then, if the problem persists, a followup with tried and true technical procedures...accordianman
