Hi there JT,
An Amp makes existing sound louder. If you aren't getting sound now, there's a problem.
From your description, it sounds like your stereo is going through all the motions, it looks and acts like it is functioning. Just no sound.
If that is wrong, let me know.
When you turn it on, do you hear anything from the speakers? White noise, a click, anything, any indication that they are hooked to any kind of power supply?
Let's do the basics (easiest) first:
- Mute is off
- Balance and Fader centered
- Volume up
- CD in and playing
Still nothing? OK.
- I need you to access the back of the stereo. (Sorry)
- Yellow and red are power. Black is ground. The unit works so these are ok. Blue is to turn on a remote device like an amp. There may be an orange, ignore.
- There are four sets of wire for the speakers. Colors are White, Gray, Purple and Green. One of each set is solid colored, the other has a stripe.
- White and gray are front
- Purple and green are back. Same page?
- These are what your speakers should be hooked to. One set for each speaker. Are they?
- Eyeball the connects, look for shorts, disconnects, etc.
- Get a speaker and test it right there behind the stereo on one set after another. Anything? If so, you have a problem in the wiring not the stereo
That's enough for now. I'd hate to write a book and have you solve the thing in chapter one. Get back to me with the answers and results. Those results will decide the next course of action (Unless of course it's fixed by then, in which case let me know with a nice FixYa rating).
Mike
