Denon cd player has very low output

[Acerman]

I have a Denon cd player model DCD835. It produces a clear distortion free output on both stereo channels , but has a very low volume. I have connected it to different stereo amplifiers with the same result. You can only hear the output if you turn the amplifier up to its highest level.
Anyone have any ideas as to the cause of this and where to start testing the player.

Probably one of the pre-out ICs overheated enough to not pop...look at the coupling / de-coupling e-caps feeding the input signal and power to the amplifiers. You could have a voltage drop to vcc on ICs.

Thanks for your response Andrew. I will get the cover off next week and have a look at the IC's that you refer to.
