Shorted output transistors or a failed bridge rectifier.
This section details the step-down transformer, rectification diodes, and large filtering capacitors. It shows the exact test points for checking regulated DC voltage rails. Pre-Amplifier & Tone Stage
Detach the front faceplate and control knobs safely without scratching the aluminum.
Connect the DMM to the speaker output terminals (Left and Right channels individually). Set the meter to the millivolt (mV) range.

Locating a failed component on a physical board can be challenging. The PCB layout maps in the manual show the exact physical location of every part, cross-referenced by its component ID (e.g., C102 for a capacitor, R204 for a resistor). 3. Parts List and Component Substitutions
True RMS power output per channel into 8 ohms.
Ultimate Guide to the Technics SA-370S Service Manual: Maintenance, Schematics, and Repair
Do not jump straight to the schematic. The manual begins with a block diagram. Study the signal path: Phono -> Tone Control -> Volume -> Power Amp -> Speaker Relay. This helps you isolate whether the problem is in the pre-amp or main amp.
Scratchy audio or dropped channels are usually caused by oxidation inside the volume, balance, tone, and input selector controls. The manual helps locate access points to spray specialized electronics cleaners (like DeoxIT) directly into the control housings.
