I have an elka elkatone700...i've been trying to find some information on this amp but everything is pretty much in german or sites that are now non-existant...the problem is i can't get the horn thing at the top to work, i wouldn't mind having a root around inside myself and trying to fix it but any technical info relating to it would be very useful...is there anywhere i can get any info at all?

According to the specs there aren't any phono inputs which would have their own preamp. Everything else is line level so I'm pretty sure you'll need a preamp either between the turntable and one of the line level inputs or built into the turntable.

Hi,most of the speakers are " 8 ohms " ..the very old German made ones are 4 ohms only ...which RCA jacks did you connect your turntable to Receiver ? if "phone" ,it requires without "PREAMP" output from turntable.otherwise you will ruin the circuits in Receiver and make high pitch sound.....Try with any other input on the receiver (i.e AUX.) and test it...unless your RCA cable broken it should work well.you can try with another cable..and remember to make a solid ground connection between turntable and receiver as well..it is a must.....Take care and if it succeeds please Remember to rate/vote and give me 4 Thumbs Up for Helping out the Community :)Hope this helps!

You have a short ANYWHERE in your amp.If you work with metal (espically) metal filings which can get into your amp with wind breeze, could cause a short. I personally repaired a amp with a dead bug across the power transformer (German made 25 TAP) Try this. blow a HEAVY blower inside, around, under & through the amp (PLEASE! unplug from power sourch) yea! turn the amp upside down and do it again! If that don't work...take it to a expert for diagonstic work

Very sorry to inform you that the digital optical socket at the back of your AMW T342 is not digital in but digital out. In other words you can connect the audio output of the AMW to another device like a AV Receiver or a Digital recorder etc and not vis versa. They have not provided a digital input and unfortunately your Panasonic TV only has an optical digital out for audio .

I have a technics too, and faced the same problem. The solution is very simple just ensure the +ve and -ve wires are connected correctly for each speaker to the amp. Eg. red wire to the red knob and black wire to the black on both ends. sometimes this arises because the wires are of just one color however there will be some marking on the wire to indicate which is +ve and -ve. This took care of the overload problem.

Disconnect everything from the amp except the power cord, then power on the amp. If the receiver still shuts down, your problem is inside the case and unless you can perform electronic repair yourself you will probably need to take it in for service. If it does not shut down with nothing connected, power it off, connect one speaker or component and power on again. Repeat the process until the amp shuts down and you may have found the bad speaker or other component.
