    A21 acting strange

    The right channel of my A21 will not give out sound until after few minutes (around 5 minutes). After I switch on, I can only hear sound from my left speaker then few minutes the right channel will switch on. Need help, can I do something or just bring it to the service center (warranty expired)? The service center is charging me enormous price as if they are saying, "just buy a new one". Can I tweek something first before I give in?

    Wait... you've owned it more than 10 years?

    One of my channels started dying several months ago, in my A21. Sent it in for service, all seems to be good now.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      Chris is right. The warranty is 5/10 years on the Halo series. Send it to Parasound...

        Not here (Hong Kong). Most electrical items sold here has 1 year warranty. Mine is just more than 2 years of usage. The distributor/service center will charge me around US$250 to fix it, not including the price of the parts (if any).

          Please add "Location: Hong Kong" to your profile. If you don't have that, we will all assume you're in the US.

          It sounds like bad solder joints. Easy fix if you know how to service electronics and have the tools & skills. My best guess is that in this case a good soldering station and soldering skills are needed.
