Left, left surr and center no out put - Pioneer VSX-517

Hi Elise,

please go for the repair.

nuwan

have a tech look at your set you have some bad caps in the audio circuit along with your audio out put transistor or ic.have it replace along with the bad caps.good luck my friend.

James, before requesting service, make sure your amp is not in 2 channel mode. (Centre Channel, L and R Surround are optional) or that it isn't wired up so that it only gets 2 channel signal (i.e. Left and Right)
Good Luck from Australia!

Is there a setting on the TV menu to change the sound output, i.e. aux out or something like that?

On this reciever you have rear surround and rear back spkrs, if your using the surr back they have to be assigned if unassigned in the settings. If using rear surr spkrs change your surr field to 5ch stereo and your rear speakers will work.
There is no 7.5 unless you have 5 subs the 7 is the total number of speakers and the .1 is the number of subs in the system

Hello, are you making the changes in the speaker settings section in programming? Thank you, CB

Test the speakers by changing source to the disc mode, and inserting a dvd into the HTS. If you get sound on all 5 speakers in DVD mode, then your speakers are still good. If you don't get sound on all 5 speakers, then press the "SURR" button to try the sound in stero, dolby, or other modes - one of these should give you sound on all 5 speakers. If you still don't get sound on all 5 speakers in dvd mode, then there is a problem with the speakers or speaker wires.

If you do get sound on all 5 speakers in disc (dvd) mode, but not when in TV mode, then take out the red and white AV cable, go buy a digital audio or SPDIF cable, and plug in the digital audio or SPDIF cable from the digital audio OUT of your TV or cable/satellite box to the "DIGITAL IN" of the HTS.

I had this same problem. All I did was switch the sound type by repeatedly pressing the "SURR." button on the bottom left corner of the remote. Usually after 10 times the sound is back,

u can't do use a 5 with a cox only with fiberoptic than it will work

Some DVD players in SETUP MENU need to select AUDIO OUTPUT (i.e. STEREO 2 ch - SURR 5.1 - SUB ON/OFF etc.). Check this for start.
