I just picked up a Sansui QRX 9001 and I'm checking out the functions to try to determine what is working and what is not working, since it's pretty common that the 9001's have issues without being worked on.
With a 4 CH reel hooked to the PLAY inputs on the rear I'm able to get playback on all 4 channels when the TAPE MONITOR switch is in the 4 CH TAPE position. So, all is good there. Even though I have a copy of an owners manual, what is confusing me is how to access the AUX modes. I know you are supposed to switch the AUX SELECTOR switch to the ON position to activate the AUX selector that allows you to choose between PHONO, FM AUTO, FM MONO & AM. Is the AUX ON switch supposed to cut the signal from the TAPE MONITOR INPUT? For instance, if I'm playing a 4 channel tape with the TAPE MONITOR switch selected to the 4 CH position and then if I flip on the AUX SELECTOR to the ON position, shouldn't that cut off the sound to the 4 channel tape?
I'm trying to figure out how to hear any of the modes you can choose using the AUX SELECTOR. When I have the AUX SELECTOR switch ON I can still hear the 4 Channel reel playing. With the AUX SELECTOR switch in the ON position, when selecting FM AUTO and tuning to a station I can see a meter reading on the SIGNAL meter and the TUNE meter, but I can't hear any sound out of the AUX SELECTOR mode.
With the AUX SELECTOR switch in the ON position and PHONO selected (and with my turntable plugged into the PHONO input in the rear, I hear nothing.
How do I hear those AUX SELECTOR sources, PHONO, FM AUTO, FM MONO, AM? I'm wondering if this is a case of operator error of if that whole AUX selector circuit just isn't functioning?
