Measure the voltage drop across each 22R now. Post em.

Next
Now disconnect power .
Connect one speaker, one channel, L or R.
Play a song. Do not increase volume. Keep it low, Hear it and confirm the sound at low level.
If u increase the volume u will blow the 22R.

Do not play too long, the resistor will heat up.

Check the other channel too.

And I like to know whether u used heat sink compound or not to mount the output stage.?

Power down and let it cool

Voltage drop is 22 across each resistor
And yes i used heat compound

I asked u to measure the DC voltage not the resistance.

The voltage drop across the 22R when the amp is idling

Both of them and are they stable when u are not playing music.

Read the page in the service manual marked ( page 29, I think)

3-6 POWER AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENT.

But do not adjust anything yet.
Tell me do u understand what it says

Not on emitter.

Across the 0.47R Emitter resistors.

First measure the voltage drop across the 0.47R emitter resistor The amp shud be in idle mode. Volume down & the amp should be left on for around 10m to warm up to do this.

Measure each and post ur results. Do not turn the VR's
