Sanyo C5 question

Hi Guys,

I just got my hands on a c5r and I love it how it sounds. I however am having problems getting a clear input when I plug in my mp3 player into the aux/phono dual input in the back. I am not really sure how to begin troubleshooting - I'm not even sure what the difference is between the phono/aux switch. I assume I want the aux. I also can get the sound to come out clear if I hold my input cable a certain way, but lose it the second I take my hands off. You seem to know your way around these machines - what kind of input cable do you use and do you have any tips for investigating this issue? The only thing I have done is to test the input cable I'm using on one of my JVC boom boxes and it seems to be working fine.

Thanks!

sounds like either the RCA input jacks are dirty or more likely, the jacks have a broken or weak solder joint on the circuit board.

Thanks for the responses! - I"ll pick up some contact cleaner and give it a good scrub. Hopefully that will take care of it. If not I may need some tips on how to re-solder the circuit board. I have tried google searching for the manual for this unit and have come up empty.
