Speaker problem?

[13tazzftw]

I just bought two Yamaha NS-777 and when I hook them up to my reciever only one speaker pumps out sound. Whats wrong?

Switch the speaker wires at the receiver to see if it's the receiver, or if it's a bad speaker/faulty wire.

I switched wires and the speaker that did not work before works now but the speaker that did work does not. I replace the wire 3x already one the speaker that does not work.

Receiver problem.

Check to see you don't have one channel muted.

If nothing works, then the receiver is defective.

You may have crossed your speaker wires and blew a channel in the receiver. Is it under warranty? If not, can you hook them both up to the "b" speaker terminals? See if that works.

I believe the problem is with my reciever. I hooked up the wires to the B slots but the problem was still there. The only way I can have my speakers have sound come out of them is if I put one wire in 'A right' and the other in 'B right'. I bought the reciever (Sony STR-DEE997) as an open box in Best Buy without a manual so I am not sure how to see if my speaker is on mute. How do I check?


There is a small amount of sound coming there the left side speakers but only when I turn the volume all the way up.

Probably a stupid question:
Is you balance knob turned all the way to one side?

No it is in the middle.

No it is in the middle.

Your left channel is blown. Take the unit back to BB if you still can. The unit is a vegetable. It would be over $150 to fix.

Since there is a small amount of sound from the left channel, you may have a different problem.
What are you inputting to that receiver? Maybe you have a problem with the input's left channel? Check that out and see. You may want to input the right channel into the left channel input and see if sound is coming out the left channel?
At least you cknow it is not your speakers
