Help!!
Hello All,
New to the site and REALLY in need of some thoughts / advice...
I recently installed the RX-V867. Twice, in the last 2 days, has my audio stopped being output from the receiver. My 5 satellite speakers will not output audio (even when attempting the receivers "Test Tone"). The subwoofer, however, emits a low muted bass sound (that reacts to increases in volume). This audio failure is not permanent. The first time it happened the sound returned after 15 min or so (without any interaction from me). The second time it happened I turned it off and didn't test again until the next morning, at which point everything worked as it should.
Now originally I suspected this to be an issue with my Comcast cable box. However the second failure involved both of my sources (Comcast AND my Blu-Ray player). Both of these sources were not reproducing audio from the satellite speakers (only the muffled sound from the subwoofers).
To explain my setup in greater detail... I am running a Samsung Blu-Ray player and Comcast digital cable THROUGH my receiver (video pass through). Both are connected via HDMI to the receiver, and output via HDMI to my Samsung LCD TV. I have the Klipsch HDT500 series surround speakers (5 satellites + 1 sub) and also an ADDITIONAL Klipsch RW-10d subwoofer connected. My reason for purchasing the RX-V867 was for the dual sub connection.
I successfully configured my system using YPAO. No errors were reported. The setup sounded fantastic.
Again, the issue is a complete loss of sound (from either one of my two sources). The only "noise" being reproduced is a low rumbling from the subwoofers. Is there a configuration setting that I may be missing? Would this be a faulty receiver? When it works, it sounds amazing, and when it fails, why?
Also note that this occurs at ANY VOLUME LEVEL. And also that the receiver itself DOES NOT POWER OFF. The box stays on but does not play sound. It seems as though there is a problem with the internals of the receiver?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...
Thank You,
MD
