JVC RX 703v My equipment works all though, the sound is not released to the speakers. I think the problem is the volume control.

I'd troubleshoot first, even though you've already tried the headphones (good thinking). Get a battery (AA battery works) and put the black and red wires on opposite sides to see if the speakers are working.
Is there a menu of settings on the jvc, and is it set to 5.1? Just trying to help...

Try swapping the speakers or just check the left connections WITH POWER OFF. Disconnect the left speaker completely and see if the clicking stops.

From the remote control only: Press MUTING to turn off the sound through all speakers and headphones connected. "MUTE" appears on the display and the volume turns off. To restore the sound, press MUTING again. Turning MASTER VOLUME or pressing VOLUME +/- also restores the sound.

You must be using speakers with lower impedance than what is recommended. This causes the amplifier to over load at high volumes.The protection circuit shuts down the Amplifier to prevent further damage.
And please remember no amplifier is designed to run at full volume, same as a car speed - Even though the speedometer might show max: speed 200Miles per hour would you do it???

From the remote control ONLY:

Press MUTING to mute the sound through all

speakers and headphones connected.

"MUTING" appears on the display and the

volume turns off (the volume level indicator goes

off).

To restore the sound, press MUTING again so that "OFF" appears

on the display.

• Turning MASTER VOLUME on the front panel or pressing
VOLUME +/- on the remote control also restores the sound.

idk if you still look at this but you should have speaker 1 pushed in (under the power button) or 2 depending on which you are using. if you only have one set of speakers you can only have one pushed in. it doesn't do only one of you have both pushed in, even though you would think it would do it anyway. if you have none pushed in push the ones you need for the speakers you have. if this didnt help, sorry. <!-- from fixya rte -->

Hi...
Without a huge mess, I would suggest one of the multi-speaker selectors that partsexpress.com sells or a similar item.
Just put "speaker slector" in their search engine.

If youre going to 8 other rooms..you might try a couple of wireless speaker systems too. They work in stereo and ....no wires

i had the same problem but i went to adjust settings and it says right speaker left speaker and you have to set them on ten

The problem you describe is common to JVC amps. This control has a motor mounted on the back of the circuit card that drives the volume control up or down using the remote control for this system. The looseness of the volume control cannot be repaired. The shaft has separated from the potentiometer. I don't know if JVC has this part any longer but it has to be replaced as a unit (volume control card).

clean your volume control if that does not help take it to a tech for repairs.
