Hi,

Have you tried all the inputs, (AM, FM, Phono, Tape or Aux) to see if there is an output at all when using any of them?

Have you connected an antenna lead to either the AM or FM antenna connections and then tune for a station to see if there is a signal being heard?

Have you tried listening with a set of headphones using the headphone socket to see if there is any sound there?
