    That's not too good. May not be a serious problem, but it also could be:

    - DC leaking into the signal path,
    - the power supply of an amp starting to go a little unstable (possible bad cap, etc)
    - something in the preamp/amp signal chain has an instability at very low frequencies (sub-sonic oscillation... these can occur at even fractional Hz, sometimes).

    I'd be incline to test the system, piece-by-piece... disconnect the amp from the preamp source, if possible (if there's preamp jumpers in the back of the receiver, unplug them) and see if the problem persists. Also, try another signal source (different CD player, etc).

    Regards,
    Gordon.

    I agree - that is not normal...

    Might be useful to swap the speakers, left for right, and see if it is indeed isolate to one channel. I'll be it is - for now...

    i would not use the reciever til i get it repaired! DC can actually burn woofer VC...

    if u have a multimeter: stick it into the outputs and see how much is leaking...
