What would cause 0 voltage on preamp outputs?

[grampi 10+ year member]

I've checked the obvious things like making sure the HU wasn't muted and defeat wasn't on. I put in a CD, cranked the volume all the way up and put my DMM leads on the RCA jacks on the rear of the HU and it reads absolute 0 volts. With the unit having 4 volt preouts, shouldn't I be seeing 4 volts, or very nearly 4 volts AC? The only thing I can think that could be wrong is the preamp output circuit is bad. What else could it be?

What unit is this? The one you sent in for repair?

Sounds like a dead preamp section if you aren't getting any output from any of the RCA outs. Is the switch on the bottom set to "norm" and not "eq/div"?
