Sorry, I don't know terminology.
Hope this explains my troubles well enough. I did do a search.
I replaced my RCA RT2250 with a new Pioneer-VSX-D514, keeping the five RCA speakers to use on the Pioneer.
Troubles:
These seem to work through the speakers: My VCR, tape cassette and CD.
If I turn on my digital cable service, I get no sound through my speakers (I can get sound through the television).
Also, the front left, right and center, and back left and right speakers plugged in fine with their wires.
But the subwoofer (which just has the same wires to plug in) has a different "plugger-inner" on the Pioneer receiver. Its "plugger-inner" l(colored black) looks like those that are color coded red, white or black (maybe called audio/video cords).
Finally, the Pioneer book recommends using speakers of 8 (?) (I don't know this symbol can't even show you) with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 (?) impedance rating.
On the back of my speaker it is 3 ohms impedence.
I live 85 miles from the city I bought this system from. But I can take it back within 30 days. I told them what I had and this is what they recommended (Best Buy). Should I try to fix these problems or just return the receiver and start over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
