Amplifier Not Working....
All of a sudden my VCR sounds not good thru my sony (like the amp went out) It sounds like it does thru my TV speakers.... (I tried a different VCR/cable with the same result) Could extreme voltage changes cause damage?? -- When my air conditioner comes on there is a drop in voltage which SOMETIMES causes the unit to go into PROTECT MODE...... Thankfully my CASSETTES and radio still sound good thru it. (Do they use the amp also??)
