Arcam AVR300 problem

Anyone ever encountered anything similar & if so any idea of the problem...

When I use the volume control on the amp itself to turn up the volume, the volume increses. When i turn volume down, the volume..... increases...!!

Via the remote, all is well & volume can be turned up or down...!
 
Thanks for the link!!

.....sounds remarkably similar to my problem. I'll take a look-see as soon as I have a spare moment & report back
 
Took about 10 mins to fix. Was exactly as Allthingsanalog suggested. The volume control was dirty. I opened the control up & cleaned the track & all is well again.

A few picts of Arcam internals at link below. In case anyone else needs to do this:

1. Remove 3 screws from cover at each side plus 3 more at rear & remove cover.
2. remove 5? (shiny coloured ones) screws along top of facia
3. remove 5 black screws along underside of facia
4. pull facia away be careful of the various connectors. I got away with removing just the power connector at the top & the ribbon cable to the main board.
5. remove the 4 screws holding the miniature volume control board behind the RHS of the facia. Pull the volume control knob off & undo the retaining nut.
6. disconnect the volume control & remove.

Clean the control as per the youtube link in earlier post. Just bend back the 4 small tags & the control comes apart.

Hope this helps someone else!
