I was testing my new Sunfire CGP. I had to test the processor with this B&K amp because my Sunfire amp will not be in for a few days, and there is only a 7 day return policy on the TGP. So...I did a stupid thing and plugged the RCA jack in while the power was on and blew the 1 channel on the B&K amp :eek: :eek:.
I checked the fuse. What to do now? I would like to fix it before I sell it off cheap...Ruined my day.
And I mean calling all cars, blackhawk down, mushroom cloud, Three Mile Island, lock the door behind you kind of mad.:mad:

    B&K service prices are quite reasonable. I'd send it to them and get it fixed.
    See profile for rigs. Nothing else here.

    I looked and all the fuses looked good, unless they do not have to be totally broken to be bad. I really only took a good look at the channel one fuse, but then I got to thinking why were the there fuses in there for the 3 channels that do not exist. Maybe they are wired in parallel with the 3 existing channels. I will have to take a look at the specs in that link. If they are wired in parallel, that means that if one fuse goes bad, say the 6th channel fuse, it would cause the 6th and 1st channel to go out.

    Look for my post about HK AVR7200 and fuses, there's instructions on how to detect a bad fuse with a multimeter (some you can't see by eye).
