Hi all

I recently won a Simply Cinema System with the effects amp listed as not working of e-bay for the measly sum of $31 Aus, all arrived as it should with all 6 speakers testing fine.

The problem I found with the effects amp is shown in second photo below.
The burntout component you see is listed as R15 & is located prior to & most likely common to the output stage, could even be a form of protection for it? Unfortunately i cant track down a schematic diagram to find out exactly what R15 in this stage of the amp is & due to its current state if it is a resistor? what value it was.
If any one could help by looking at a schematic & letting me know what the component is i would be one very happy chappy.

Cheers Wayne.
