Do I replace the unit or try to get it fixed

At first specific speakers began dropping out, then on a movie music or sound effects were fine but dialogue inaudible, now it is just dropping out completely. Only output that works is Headphones. Input is via optical cable from Foxtel IQ

SOURCE: Pioneer VSX-D608 Optical connection

The manual states that the default association of each digital input in as follows:

  • Optical 1: CD
  • Optical 2: MD
  • Optical 3: TV
  • Coax: DVD
Use the "Signal select" button to set the receiver to use a digital input, and the Dolby/DTS button (above "Signal select") to enable decoding.

As samz11 stated above, a remote is required to alter the digital input mapping.

SOURCE: pioneer sx-255r only plays mono sound out of left speaker

The PCB is probably cracked. It can be repaired, but I am going to assume any shop would charge you at least 100$ or more. With the age of the unit, you are missing many of todays modern features (which may or may not be of concern to you). If you are interested in saving the most money, then consult your local repair shop, as you will probably not be able to replace it for the $ to have it repaired. But if you are willing to spend a bit more, then you can have a new, modern receiver with no repair history.

SOURCE: very low output from the center speaker, cannot

also try turning up the level of your centre speaker in your Reciever setting, as well as make sure that the center speker is available thru your setup.

Each digital input is assigned a name and a function by you. You have to dig out the manual and assign the digital inputs.

My $.02. Why do you not want to use the coaxial imputs? There is no functional superiority of one over the other BUT coaxial is a) cheap, since it uses standard RCA cables; b) adaptable, since you can splice or split them among two devices; c) not delicate or prone to failure due to tight bends. I share one coaxial input between two digital device with an RCA splitter cable. Just have to make sure to turn the one I'm not using OFF. Try that with optical.

It just recently began to malfunction and the music and/or movies always sound staticky. I bought it in July of this year for college and have never had problems like this before.

If you have a external speaker try to connect the external speaker and check how the sound works on the external one.. If it works well then the internal speakers have gone bad.. Contact the computer manufacturer to replace them.. If the sound plays scratchy in the external on then unistall the drivers from the device manager and reinstall a fresh copy from the support website of the computer manufacturer.. If you dont have a external speaker better reinstall drivers if the issue is not fixed contact the computer manufacturer....

I have an echo that suddenly appeared in my Acer Laptop sound. It puts an echo on all sound (music, movies, etc.). It might have happened when my son downloaded music, or with him simply mucking about in...

I had this problem for months - I finally figured it out on my own...

Go to your RealTek HD Audio Manager (this is either a red speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner or if you go to 'control panel, sounds speak and audio devices, realtek hd sound effect manager)

once you have the window open, under 'sound effect, go to environment and to the right of the drop down menu, click 'RESET'.

After months of trying to fix this issue, this fixed it for me!!! I hope it does for you too!

Panasonic Home Theater SC-PT760

This is not a problem, this means that your system is working. Polar Express was recorded in Surround Sound with separate tracks for each speaker channel. In most movies you will find that the rear speakers will only play certain sound effects so that it appears they are coming from behind you (gun shot, train, fireworks). Most of the diaglouge will come through the center channel and music/effects through the front left and right, with bass coming from the subwoofer.

Now, you can still hear more from the rear speakers if you like this enveloping effect, or if you like your music coming from all directions. There are Sound Effects options to have the front and back speakers always playing the front track, there is Dolby Pro Logic II that turns stereo sounds (like many TV shows) automatically into 5.1 Surround Sound, and you can also individually change the volume of each speaker.

These are all explained on page 29 of your owner's manual under Sound Options. If you need specific button to button help, let me kow.

No sound

Sounds to me like your center speaker is either not connected, or somehow not working. The not working part could be explained by a failed speaker or, possibly a failed amp in the unit.
