Marantz PM6004 Issue

Hi guys,

So the story goes that I today received the newly released Google Chromecast Audio (digital output that doesn't suck like the Airport Express for the win), hooked it all up and it would seem that after a month without use, my Marantz PM6004 is not outputting any sound.

The headphone output however is absolutely fine.

I've spoken to Richer Sounds which is where I purchased it from, and typically the warranty ran out on it in June, so they are saying they can send it away to an engineer for £40 which is pretty much just for them to look at it and tell you what's wrong and how much you need to pay to fix it.

After speaking to my father, he suggested it could just be a fuse which has blown on the board and thinks that we should open it up... I'm not sure if this is going to be a waste of time or not and whether I should just send it off to the engineer for an easy life.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Ross

Try with other input, connect a tuner or CD player...I think Mara 6004 is

very reliable and built like a tank

How would that help? He already said it's fine through headphones. I'd pop it open and see if anything blinding obvious strikes you. But then I've never been frightened of lifting lids off electrical things (other than CRT tellies) while it seems most people are sh*t scared of even changing a plug.

What is the white goo that seems to be emerging from everywhere?!
