|   HELP AMP DIED (i think) | Opeth_PA
Nov 5, 2003 9:07 PM | | My setup consists of a Marantz SR780 with the front channels being driven by Marantz monoblock 500 amps. One of the amps appears to have gone south. I get a loud hiss through it, I can switch it to either main speaker and get the hiss while not getting it through the other amp.
Ok, no problem I will just use the integrated amp on the rec until I can replace the amp.
So I plugged the speakers into the receiver, via bananna connectors, switched inputs to the CD player and I am getting no sound from the mains.
Is their anything I have to switch or change in the menu to make the speakers be driven by the integrated AMP? Its been over 5 years since I have set this up.
Thanks.

However, if you were using the preamp output of your receiver to drive the monoblocks, you may have neglected to replace the jumpers between the pre-amp output and the power amp input on the back of the receiver. These are often two U shaped chrome plated connectors that are exactly the right size. If you have lost them or can't find them, any pair of RCA jack terminated audio cables will do just fine. Hope this helps. |
