Center channel

Jul 09, 2008

-   I have the same prolem. I have an avr-4800 and all the channels work fine except the center... I can't determine if its a decoder issue or if the channel just went dead... I do get a very minimal hiss from the speaker leading me to believe that it is the decoder. I also tried using the preouts.. I have the same issue. It also looks to be that the sub preout has the same issue as well. About a week ago while watching cox, everything would "matrix" in and out as if the stream had become currupt or the decoder lost track of the signal timing. I moved the box to the top of my rack thinking that it being enclosed might cause some heat issues. Hadn't had the issue since. I just can't believe that a product I paid 2 grand for three years ago is already on the fritz. Especially when I have a 400 dollar Sony receiver that's sound is comperable is still in use today and its nearly 8 years old.-   xk2600
