[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7496240, member: 549629"] I find it impossible to believe ca.com cant help you diagnose such a simple problem. I will help you isolate the problem and save that $200. You dont need a spare h/u, anything with rca outputs will work (boom box or even a home stereo). Plug your existing RCA cable into it. If the problem goes away, its the h/u (either its bad, or you have a setting wrong on it). If the problem stays, continue using the boombox/alternate signal source and use a different RCA cable. When troubleshooting a problem like this, you isolate each component (including wiring) until the problem goes away. When the problem goes away, which ever component you are bypassing at that time is the culprit. You, as a DIY'er, should own a DMM (even if its just a $10 cheapie). This would allow you to check the output(s) from the h/u directly, and avoid needing the alternate signal source described above. [/QUOTE]
