If memory serves, didn't those units have AUX IN and OUT in the back
where you had to place jumper cables in ?
other wise, you didn't get
any sound.. Maybe a little leakage but that was it..

Erm, I think it has a tape loop but that's about it? I'm pretty sure
it *was* working ok and now it isn't and I've not touched it round the
back for *years*.


ALso, maybe you're using an EQ that isn't working?

Nope, this is an all_in_one receiver. I've since found the owners
handbook on the net:

I read the service manual through yesterday and I think I have a
slightly better understanding of how the mute thing works for each of
the in / output and now don't think that's the problem. I turned the
volume right up when it was on FM and could tune it in to many
stations [1] (that you could just hear in the background). Then when
you selected say the 'Phono' input the set went quiet (suggesting the
FM was being 'muted' when de-selected and therefore (probably)
un-muted when selected).

The faultfinding suggests a transistor or a couple of ICs just after
front end could be at fault so I might go in there for a look
sometime.

Alternatively I could look for a compact DAB tuner and plug that into
the AUX as that seems to be the way we are going these days (even here
in the UK).
