Hi folks,

I own an AKAI AS-980 quad receiver with a speaker output issue. All 3 modes A, B, and C work fine. However, when trying the A+B and A+C modes, neither have output (even when using a single A, B, or C mode and switching to the multiple speaker output.

Suggestions??

I have thoroughly cleaned the unit with DeOxit and everything is fine except the abovementioned issue.

Any help is appreciated !!!

Probably the wiring from the speaker selector switch (SW3 on the schematic) or the switch itself. The service manual is readily available on line (e.g. from HiFiEngine) and the speaker switching wiring is clearly shown in Section 3. Fixing broken wire(s) would be straightforward, but If it is the switch itself (with a defective wafer or mechanism defaulting to the ' speaker off' position) then I'm afraid your chances of finding a suitable replacement are very slim. Good luck!
