Unplug everything and measure the resistance between the hot terminals of the hi and low RCAs.

Using an inexpensive multi-meter, and with the 1K Ohm meter adjusted to it's minimum (maximum?) range, (there's a small inset thumbwheel on the side that adjusts the ohm meter sensitivity and I have it set at it's most clockwise/upward position) I get a reading of 0.8 ohm. The ohm meter works opposite of the other meters, right? That is, it reads zero (to the far right of the meter dial) unless there is enough resistance to register?Thanks for taking the time, Mark.

You are supposed to touch the leads together and adjust the thumbwheel until the meter reads zero. You should do this each time you measure ohms and each time you switch to a different resistance range.

You are looking for a resistance bewtween the active terminals of the high and low level outputs. This might tell us what's going on.A photo would be useful also.
