One channel on my sl1200 mk 2 has very minimal sound out put. I have to turn my balance selector on my reciever almost full right to balance the volume. Any insight to this problem is appreciated. Anthony

On the front panel ONLY:
1. Press ADJUST so that the MULTI
CURSOR up/down buttons work for
adjusting the sound.
2. Press MULTI CURSOR up/down
repeatedly until "BALANCE"
appears on the display.
3. Press MULTI CURSOR left/right to
adjust the balance.
• Pressing left decreases the right channel
output.
• Pressing right decreases the left channel
output.


please rate my solution.

Being the older model, the chances are that the drive belt on the Mk2 turntable has got worn and shiny with use. It may also have stretched a bit. If you are using the tables for 'scratching', the fact that you are holding onto the turntable when the motor is running is placing a strain on the belt that it is not really designed for. I would recommend changing the belt - you can easily find spare belts for sale on the internet

Did you have someone get on channel 2 to see??? Maybe channel 2 was quiet and channel one had better receive or noise.. You never know until you check it with another radio. That is NOT a common issue at all on those radios. Better off doing that test.

try to check balance adjustment if working.

you caan either buy a SPLITTER OR JUST RUN A SINGLE LINE OUT OF THE RECIEVER INTO THE SUB. BOTH DONT NEED TO BE PLUGGED IN. SUBS ARE MONO NOT STEREO. THERS NOD IFFERENCE IN SOUND

This sounds like the "pre-amp" section is cutting out or there is some interruption in the signal path. A few things to try:

1) With the unit off, try "working" the volume,balance and tone controls. This means, turn them up and down a number of times to clear any debris that may be in the controls themselves.

2) Work the input selector switch the same way if it is a rotary switch.

3) Try turning on/off the tape monitor switch a few times.

4) Keep track of whether this problem is sensitive to heat. Does teh channel shut down more quickly once the unit has been on for a while?

Lastly, if you can solder, look for any solder joint that appears grainy or has rings and resolder it.

Update this with your results and we'll continue on...

Thanks,

I got the answer for No-1.
The balance was turned on the Right Channel. That is why Left Channel was not working during the Channel test.
For Channel test the Balance should be in the middle so that both Right and Left Would be heard.

I am working on my Subwoofer Isuue.

I opened the Back Panel and Yet I could ot figure out any issues.

I will open the front panel and see if any connection is loose.

try hooking up your subwoofers in series. then connecting them bridged to the amplifier. as follows: positive from sub#1 into positive of amplifier left channel.. negative sub#1 into positive sub#2. negative sub#2 into negative amplifier right channel. turn the gain down as this will sound pretty loud.

this one happend to me!! try taking the plastic cover off, under the platter and removing the screws that hold it on if that cures it its because what you ll find is that the screws just catch the underneath of the platter as it rotates. happy mixing
