Is there any sound via the headphones? If it is normal but not on the speakers you have a faulty headphone socket.
If you turn it up to full volume can you hear anything? If you can then the main amp has failed.
their is a good chance the amp or volume control has failed, the only other possible cause is that the headphone socket has got something inserted to cut the sound or has failed
try plugging headphones in if still no sound, its a fail end of life for item
I use a tape head adaptor . Tape cassette fits in as normal , the attached wire plugs into the headphone socket in either your personal cd player or mp3 player .
check your cables to the units channel that doesn't work, for breaks. Does the cassette player play back a pre-recorded tape okay? if it doesn't there might be a internal fault.
Check the wires to the tape head to see if one is off.
Could the tape be a Mono recording? Have you tried to clean the head on the tape player? This could fix it if the head is dirty. Do you use the tape player very often? It could have a dust build-up. Hope this helps...
Here is the entire troubleshooting section from the manual.
Your problem is presumed to be a shorted speaker wire. I assume you're not getting the failure ONLY at extremely high volume levels.
Care and maintenance
Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software
are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth. If the unit surfaces are extremely
dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine
or thinner.
To clean the tape heads
Dirty tape heads cause sound deterioration. After every 10
hours of use, clean the tape heads with a head cleaning
cassette. Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.
To demagnetize the tape heads
Use a demagnetizing cassette after every 20 to 30 hours of
use. Refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.
Care of CDs
When a CD becomes dirty, wipe it from the center out with a
cleaning cloth. After playing a CD, store it in its case. Do
not keep it in hot or humid places.
Care of tapes
Store tapes in their cases after use. Do not leave tapes near
magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of
magnetism. Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave
them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
