No output on New LS26

Thanks to bothe of you. I have double checked "mute" is off, tried both "monitor" on/off pos. "proc" selects like seperate input so when "cd" is selected, it reconnects inboard. I had to leave for an hour and 1/2 I think I will give it another 30-40min and see if has any capacitance drain from it's little brain. By the way I have re-booted per ARC instruct 4-5 times and no cookie.
I may have a dead soldier. Thanks so far.
Oh well at least I got my C5xe back from it's update so
that will get me through a Saturday nite, with my BLUE METERS! Brad! Ahem the Blue Meters are all aglow!!

Tubes are fine they have been checked 3 times pulled and replaced. They are warm whne I take the out. I just tried again am actually,but may have all along,but had the TV on.
I am actually getting a very faint sound out of the speakers at full volume. And also a grounding buzz/hum with PROC selected and the volume on the Pre/Pro maxed out.
So signal is completing the circuit, just no volume. Maybe bad tubes there seems to be a light glow and they getting warm. That would make sense. But the prevoius leads me to the conclusion that they are good.

Brad
I am taking LS26 output 1 to amp in. The pre/pro is connected from 2 channel LR out to processor in on LS26.
That is the way I understand the instructions and that make the only logical way. I want the fron 22 channels of the pre/pro to PASS THru the LS26. When in proc mode on the LS26 there is no volumn. The voulume comes from MX135 so all 6 channels gain together.
Actually I really belive it is dead. Rick and I spent over an hour on the phone. He thought a rest would cause it to reset. I reset it again tonight. I have already hooked everything back up to the MX135 and will wait till monday when we can talk w/ARC but both Rick and I think it's a due a dirt nap. Hey thats why the come in boxes!
Thansk for all your help.

No I think I will get years out of the LS26 either this one or the replacement. I am McIntosh guy but in this price range this seems to be the best buy. I realize that
things break, if they didn't there would be no warranty at all. I think I have a bad volume circuit. I had thought tubes and that may be it but I don't have another pair till tomorrow to try. Since they are getting warm I really defuakt to volume circuit.

Sono, Thank you but I did try the Bal/Se a number of times
and tried both cables think maybe the Bal/Se switch was dead. I think since I get a faint faint sound at 103(max vol)from cd and a grounding hum/buz from PROC with pre/pro volume at max. It must be a bad volume switch or something in that circuit. Frustrating I have been saving for a year to get this. Boo Hoo for me. Thank again

One last note: Audio Research was very patient and understanding this morning when I called them, as my dealers line was busy when I called him. Well my dealer has just informed me that ARC is shipping a replacement 2 day air. My first taste of doing business with Audio Research has proven to be very positive. All products regardless of who makes them are sucseptable to break. That is not unrealistic. The real litmus test is how the manufacturer handles it. I have always delt with Mcintosh and had stellar service from them and their equipment. I wanted to try the ARC LS26 because I beleive in it's price range I would not beat the performance. And in light of all that has happened thus far. I can say that ARC may become my new system core. When/if I tire of the Mc amps I will most likely consider ARC as replacements.
I also want to add, that I find so much pleasure in dealing with an American company and a service rep. that is not India and understands when customer is having an issue and resolves in a stand up manner such as ARC did.
And to my Dealer Rick at Audio Alternative in Ft.Collins who took this on his shoulders as a personnal task as if he was the one to blame, I would be hard pressed to find another like him in the level of service he has provided me through the years. E.g. he is closed today and took his time to get this resolved.
And finally,thanks to all my fellow Audiogoners who offered help in my moment of need.
Com'on Thursday!

Update: Replacement is in the other room making music as I type this. Thanks again to Leonard at Audio Research and Rick at Audio Alternative for getting this done is such a positive and timely manner. Good service is fast becoming a rarity in our business world and I have found two that beieve it is the cornersone of any business with a future.
This economy will sift out those that don't adopt these beliefs.

RHljazz, I guess I am the anal guy that always tells the dealer that I want the "wedding night" experience. So I have always asked to hand me a sealed box. This is the first dead unit I have ever received. On the exchange unit the dealer did take it out and it was playing when i arrived yesterday. We then took then dead unit and confirmed it was indeed, well passed on. We pulled the sheet over it's head and called the coroner.

Thanks to all for your responses. I am now just waiting for the "Break in". So far it is somewhat brittle in sound but just from the 25 hours I have of burn in ,I have noticed that edge is softening this morning already. I am
really hoping that there will be a positive synergy between the Mc and the ARC. Lord knows I better like it because I can't afford to make any changes for a long time.
