Folks, I struggled with an issue for the last couple of weeks where my left channel audio output went down compared to the others. Scoured the web but found very few helpful links - maybe one or two threads in other forums where this was asked. Since I solved it, thought I would post it here in case any of you face this issue in future.
Issue: Low (not nil) audio output in one channel of the AVR. Very obvious based on audible output and vibrations of the speaker drivers.
AVR: Denon 2311
Solution: Microprocessor reset. Switch off (or keep off) the AVR using power button. Then press Surround < and > selection buttons on the frontplate of the AVR together and then press and hold power button simultaneously. Wait for the AVR display to flash 4 times before releasing all buttons.
Steps/checks tried before this (did not work):
Checked cables, banana plugs - even removed and reset the cables into banana plugs.
Changed/swapped a few cables into the amp.
Switched off and restarted the amp
