On a recently acquired VZ-2000, audio on both channels works OK on both cassette and turntable. AM and FM radio is weird. It seems to tune in signals, and on FM, the FM stereo LED lights, however in both channels the sound is VERY low. Volume control on high, I can just hear it.

AM is similar, very low volume, but occasionally while tuning through the band, I get a momentary (fraction of second) distorted very loud output.

Very weird - and I can't work out what would be causing, despite studying the circuit diagram/service manual for ages. Faulty IC(s) in the radio section?

Any suggestions from anyone most appreciated.

HI - so this problem turned out to be just dirty selector switches, strange symptoms, but after cleaning switches, all ok.
