my receiver is acting up as in no matter what mode (stereo-surround-normal),
the front left speaker doesn't work - or will kick in intermittently. It
normally will kick in at a loud sound ect. but then kick out not long after,
but if I switch the balance all the way left and BRIEFLY crank the volume
until it kicks in it will continue to play from both the left and the right
channel at lower volumes until I turn the unit off.

anything I should be checking for or probing for?

thank you
