I turned on my amp today and it seems the left main (front) is out...mine is not old and NEVER abused...I listened last night to a movie (Kiss, Kiss...Bang Bang) and didn't notice it was out.
Today...nothing.
I have tried changing the speaker wire and left to right and right to left to see if it was a speaker problem...it isn't...when changing the speaker wire even with the unit off I still got a little static and pop (very quiet) from the speaker but no sound...not on test either...any thoughts or clue???
I use a Panamax Max5100 for protection and all the other channels work fine.

Curious. I can't think of any obvious cause based on your description of events. Did you check to make sure the pre-amp cables were all in place? If both the input and output connections check out and that channel's still silent, I'd give Outlaw a call and get them in the loop.

Have you tried switching the front left preout on your 950 to a different channel on the 7100? If that works ok, then it must be the amp.

Is it still under warranty?

It's still under warranty - I say that with some certainty because even the oldest 7100's haven't gone out of warranty yet. My old 750's just now approaching that milestone.

thanks...it is still under warranty...it is a little over a year old...I have now changed all the connecting cables and still no sound from the left main...right main sounds fine...hmmm...the owner's manual says there are fuses inside...is this for all channels or not something I should check?...don't want to open it up and void my warranty...
Bill

I even tried a different DVD/CD player to see if it might be that...I have placed a ticket with the Outlaws...

Outlaw will get you squared away this week, I'm sure.

gonk,
...of that I have no doubt...well, as I surmised...there is a separate fuse for each channel...Steve called me and emailed me about this...asked if I was comfortable enough to open the "patient" up as the 7100 is a pretty robust design and check the fuse...as the left main is the first fuse in the line...
I just got home from work, opened her up and...the left main fuse is burned inside...
...on my way to pick up a "T6.3L 250V" fuse...
Thanks all...I will report back the results but you already know how this story ends...
Bill

There will be no joy in Mudville tonight!...after finding the #1 fuse broken inside, I went to my nearest Radio Shack and got an exact replacement (4 pack)...the excitement was building, I hurried home and replaced the fuse...checked the connections and contact!
Followed by a loud electronic hummm, a pop and smoke...I left a voicemail with Steve but I believe the patient is in need of critical care.

Sad in Brookfield...

A pop and smoke - Never good when you let the smoke out. It was certainly worth a try, at least. Sorry to hear about the sick amp, silversport.
