Ok people's, long story short-ish. I'm trying to get a cheaper AV receiver cuz I switched TVs and need to use arc for external audio, anyway... I'm buying this receiver and seen within many forums about the HDMI going out not having any sound but here's the catch, the lady didn't use the HDMI she only uses RCA inputs. Within about 6 months time each speaker has died (shut itself off/ doesn't work anymore) it's not like it just went out. One day one speaker quit working, then another, then another. After about 6 months now none of the speakers work. Idk if she's tried resetting the system, trying a different aux or tried using the HDMI, but she's selling as is and said it might be a easy fix. I do fix electronics so a fix is just what I need for my budget. But everything I've came across for this receiver is nothing like she had told me about. What do you guys think the problem is, something major, simple? Like I said she only uses RCA and each speaker went out one by one within 6 months and now has no sound. I'm hoping it's just a reset problem or freyed wires turning the sound off, maybe even broken solder connections because it's a older AV receiver. I just need some opinions, maybe one who has delt with this before. Myself I'll be using the HDMI possibly the optical and RCA out and of course the speaker terminals, which doesn't work as of now. Is it worth the fix, does anyone have a AV receiver they wanna get rid of cheap or know a place.. thank you for reading my rambling!
