Have set up a Pioneer 50' plasma Elite and the Yamaha RX-V663 receiver with our Bose 5.1 surround speaker system. The front 3 speakers work and the back right speaker works. The subwoofer and the back left speakers do not work. We have checked the connections and at one point the back left worked but then the front left didn't and still the subwoofer didn't work. We have made sure that in the speaker setup on the receiver all the speakers are indicated as large. Any Idea's?
First of all you should never indicate speakers as Large unless they can produce below 20Hz (which is very low), otherwise always set your speakers to Small.
Second, did you also indicate in teh setupmenu that you have a subwoofer? Because if all speakers are set to Large some receivers will omit a subwoofer because Large indicates the speakers can reproduce all sounds even below 20Hz.
So walk through your setup menu, say YES when the sub (SFW) is asked for and that should do the trick.
I have the same exact Yamaha receiver run with a Bose Acoustimass II system, running in 5.1 surround sound.
The front three speakers and subwoofer would always work. But
somtimes either both or just one of the rear speakers wouldn't work. Obviously when I would turn it on and this was happening I would go through and check all the RCA and bare wire connections, everything looked good. I had other family members who would visit me fairly regularly. I asked them if they had messed around with the settings at all. They said no, they said, "All I do it turn it on and turn it off." I asked them to show me how they were turning it on and off. One said, "When I turn it on I push the Main On button on the receiver itself and I hit the same button to turn it off." Then I started think about it and this problem would usually happen after they had visited.
I found when you power on it's fine to hit the Main On button on the receiver or the POWER button on the remote, but if you don't power down with STANDBY I would have this problem reoccur every time.
Since I've told everyone who visits the proper way to power on and standby off, I have not had a problem since.

Another problem I encounted, the front right of the five would not work from time to time. The room I use this in is small for the system to I run in negative volume most of the time. But I found if I crank it up to "+" it would then start working again. After that I could turn it back to "-" volume level and it would still work, wierd.
