Question edited for clarity, 'make model (what is is)'.
Question moved from Yamaha Cars.

Check out the video. If it has a fuse it will be inside by the power transformer.

change your power regulator it is leaky and there are some diodes around the regulator change them also check the caps and some of the resistors some also can be faulty.good luck.

Replace center channel speaker with known good one. If no longer scratchy then the voice coil of removed unit is rubbing against the magnet pole and the speaker needs to be replaced. If the replacement speaker also sounds bad, then the amp for the center channel needs repair.

No, but you could still access the audio directly from the iPod...

Anything that has a headphone output can be adapted to feed an RCA cable pair for standard stereo to an amp or receiver. Get a cable like the one described here:

and connect it into any available analog input EXCEPT "Phono". Turn the MP3 player volume up.

the coaxial cable from outside is connected to in (box), coaxial cable from out to digital in (RX) digital out to TV... (try scrolling through source to cable/ or component if this is HD) (all other devices can be connect to RX also like dvd using Red Yellow White cable or S-video w/red & white)

Hi,
Click Yamaha Support and download required user manual of receiver to figure out to set it on 2 channel output.
Need further help, please intimate receiver model number.

First - make sure it is not a defective cable by reversing the leads/colors on the inputs if problem then goes to the right channel then you know it is a bad cable/RCA, etc., connector. I would try that first.

Thanks,

Typically, only stereo inputs exist on any comsumer-grade receiver, and the actual decoding to 3, 4, 5, 6, and even 7.1 is done internal in the receiver. When a "placement" signal is detected by the receiver, the sound is routed to the correct speaker.Please refer to a user manual
