I recently cleaned all of my switches and pots on my 500C with DeOxit. Before I cleaned it I noticed that one channel would sometimes cut out with the Tape Monitor switch in the OFF position. It was obviously dirty and I have fixed that problem. Now I have noticed that I have signal bleed through with the switch selected ON. I can't remember if my receiver did this before I cleaned the switches and pots.
My setup.
CD player into AUX inputs.
FM antenna
1 set speakers hooked up to Speaker 1 outs.
No other connections.
My cleaning procedure.
DeOxit D5 sprayed into pots, and all 4 sliding switches.
DeOxit D100L liquid used to clean all of the rotary switches.
With a CD playing, flipping the Tape Monitor ON gives significant bleed through on both channels.
With the FM selected (all three positions) I get a very small amount of bleed through which is not balanced. A bit more on the right channel.
I don't believe that this is normal. Is the Tape Monitor switch the culprit as a result of my cleaning or should I be focusing my efforts elsewhere?
