We just got one of these at a auction and only the left side plays and makes lights. If it were bridged inside for max power mono, would the right side appear "dead" with no lights and no music at right output? I found a procedure for changing the jumpers but find it confusing. Does a wire run across from the L driver board to the R one? Thank you for guidance. --Tom in Tucson

  The lights on both sides work in bridge mode.

  One channel is out.

    Don't suppose you could steer us to most common failure mode? We tested about half the big transistors and gave up after finding all good ones. Nothing is obviously burned up or exploded. All fuses are good. Do the relays fail very often? Thank you.

      Relays do fail, but it could be anything.

      Get the SM and follow the signal through the unit.
