Sony PD170 : incoming Audio cancels itself out !!! Can't Post

Was adjusting the audio levels up when all of a sudden NO audio... dead air... total silence in my headphones !!!

Then noticed that channel 1 and channel 2 were set at the exact same level.

As soon as I changed the level of channel 1 or channel 2 audio would come back but as soon as I set them at the same level again - POOF ! .... no audio.

Also on playback whenever the levels same no audio in headphones.

That is SCARY. I'm thankful to a Mentor who kept pounding into my brain the importance of using headphones !

Anyway here's the camera settings :

The slide button in the Record Channel Select is on Ch1 Ch2.
The audio settings in the menu :

Audio Mode : FS48K
Mic NR : ON
Audio Set : AGC Ch1: OFF AGC Ch2OFF
Man Gain : SEPARATE

Other info that may more may be helpful :

Heads have been cleaned periodically.

Current Hours Meter Read :

OPERATION
151 x10H
DRUM RUN
80 x10H
TAPE RUN
51 x10H
THREADING
229 x10H

Any theories ?

Thanks,

Ken
