I have recently purchased a Kenwood receiver model VR-6070 for a good $200 w/shipping and a pair of Sapphire Audio ST2 speakers for around $316 with shipping.
My question is concerning the system setup. Basically no sound comes through the speakers unless I use my VCR into Video2 input, and because the VCR is mono it only plays out of the left speaker at a very low volume. With all other digital and analog inputs, absolutely no sound is coming out. I have reconnected the speaker wire a dozen times with and without connector pins. I know the speakers work cause I tryed them on my older pioneer receiver but I would really like to use the Kenwood because it puts out twice as much power and has better options. How do I know if the receiver is not sending power to the speakers at all and it is just junked? The ST2s are bi-amped on the same receiver through speaker inputs A and B, could this be the problem? I am very new at this and would appreciate any input.
