I have a Yamaha RX-V663 I have speakers connected to both the Front A L & R and the Surround L & R for now only because i am in the process of getting more. I have my iPod connected through the CD input via RCA to headphone jack cord. The issue I am having is even when I have either 7 channel Stereo or 7 channel Enhancer I only get output coming out of the surround speakers. What am I doing wrong to not have the other speakers come on? Also on the speaker indicator only the surround L & R are lit up.

How did you 'connect' the cordless microphone to the RX-V663? You will need to select this same input in order to get output in the speakers.

Unfortunatly there is not any firmware to upgrade your unit to a higher HDMI format. There is a firmware though that corrects the following symptoms.

1. In case of playback of some DTS-HD Master Audio stream, pop noise may be generated.
2. Test tone may not be output under specific YPAO condition.
3. When test tone is output from presence channel, surround R channel is simultaneously output when speaker settings are PRESENCE SP "EXIST" and SWFR "NONE".
4. Multi channel input setting will be reset after power off the unit, in case of setting "INPUT CH" to "8CH" and "FRONT" to "VCR" or "V-AUX".

Start by using an old test speaker and connect it directly to the right surround output with a short wire and monitor it.

If it sems to work with no issues, you either have a bad connection at receiver or speaker, or a break in the speaker wire somewhere.

If you have the same problem with the test speaker, you have a rgt. rear output issue in the receiver and it needs repair.

Hope this helps

sorry but if the woofers work you have blown the mids and tweeters

When watching TV or VHS the sound should be stereo and therefor come out of the the 2 front speakers. I suspect you now have sound out of the left front and the center speaker which indicates you connected the center speaker to the right front speakerterminal and the right front to the center terminal.

Just check if all speakers are connected to the correspondent speakerterminal.

If this is correct and the problem persists, try to connect another speaker to the right front terminal to see of the terminal or speaker is not working properly. If another speaker does work on the same connection, your right speaker might be damaged which might not be heard when listening to 5.1 because of the surround sound.

Most likely you have pressed the speaker AB switch, try pressing it again and see if it works.

You should always connect with HDMI when using and decoding HD sound formats. If you use the normal digital option it will use PCM. Also check if your source is set to HD formats via HDMI connections.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, a workaround:

• as you posted, audio out of the DVD goes to the receiver;
• HDMI out of the DVD goes to the Schaub Lorenz LCD.

Even if it were a compatibility issue or HDMI processor issue on the receiver, the above should get you going.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
