I burnt A1 Ch in CS4360....

hi all,

I have posted this in DIY forum but perhaps this should be the correct forum...

I was having fun tweaking my Philip DVP5500S. I got great sound by replacing the rectifiers, PS caps, and eventually removing the output Op amp 4560 altogether!
the output from CS4360 thru Sanyo cap by passed by a PIO is great!
Then tragedy strike when in the process of changing the output PIO, I shorted the A1 ch pin 27 of CS4360 to a -12V DC. The story is below for those who may want to laugh...

Anyway, could I some how use Ch A2 in place of A1, or I must replace the CS4360KZz? I will try to switch the ch settling from stereo to 6 ch and see what happen. I am only interested to use this DVD player for 2 ch play back only. Hope some one could advise me...!

Also, what is the general opinion on the sound of CS4360?

Tks and best rgds

(The Russian PIO was very big, and the pin 27 end was shorted to the heat sink on top of the main IC chip, which I used -12 Volts to ground the heat sink. I know I should have applied the -12V by placing in serial a 10k to the -ve then a cap to ground!)
