I have a Yamaha HTR-5930 Home Theater Sys. Somehow, I've managed to lose my right channel when watching T.V. (dish network), but when my son plays with the XBox, he gets full surround stereo. Any ideas?

Question edited for FULL 'make model (what it is)'
Question moved to Yamaha.

You are the only person to have this issue. Take it to your closest Yamaha Service Centre.

Check for problem in fuel system - bad fuel - filter - carb/throttle body etc

The signal that comes from most tv's via the optical output is a stereo signal only. That is what your receiver is reading. You would have to manually set your receiver to decode the signal into surround,.

The simplest for the movie would be to connect the Optical digital audio out of the TV (above the VGA port) to the Optical Audio In on the receiver. You will need to get this cable from any store that sells TOSLink cables. The manual for the TV is available here: http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-led-tv-42LE5300.jsp . The manual for the receiver is available at the Yamaha support page if you are a registered Yamaha customer: http://download.yamaha.com/search/product/?category_id1=16445&&category_id2=16446&product_id=1060939 .

For the XBox, I'd suggest the same connection if you are using HDMI out on the XBox. If you are using component or composite video, route the audio cables to the receiver's RCA audio in.

I hope this helps.

configure ur PC (both OS audio and third party sound driver) for surround sounds. control panel- sounds and audio devices - speaker settings - advanced - speker settings. so this done. make sure u select the 6 input channel - the button is on the right edge near the volume knob. near the vol button there are two buttons for selecting input type with up down arrow. from that u can select the input type this will be indicated on the top front indicator. but with the 6 input channel selected all selections are preceeded. if u select stereo mode u will have left/ right audio only.
make sure u connect the input right. connect from computer to 6 channel input. main, surround, center and sub-woofer.  connect the spekers to main (L/R), rear(surround) (L/R), center and sub woofer to terminal marked sub woofer ouput. this done select like i said before the 6 channel button. that should do it.

Looks like you will need to join this site in order to access the owners manual....hope it helps.

Could you provide some details like which channels do and do not work? Is it the same for all sources?

Did you check the obvious things like settings: Stereo Only comes to mind. A good look at the front panel may reveal something.

Have you read the manual and followed the specifc menus for setting up the sound?

We need more to information be helpful.

On , HTR-5930, composite inputs are routed only to composite outputs. The same happens to component input. You can't see video from V AUX if your TV is hooked-up on component output. Also, check if you connected correctly GREEN, BLUE AND RED on both receiver and TV SET.
