Not all of the sound/music is being transferred from the LP.Hard to explain, but its when the LP has sound coming out of each speaker independent of one another, only one side is coming out on the recorded version. it's very frustrating when you know what your supposed to be hearing and it just isn't there. I have a Ion profile pro usb recorder. Have you heard of anyone else with the same complaint?

You need a audio to USB convertor. These can cost from 10 dollar to the sky is the limit. With the convertor you get a disk with programs, you first must install on your PC. Because you need to save the signal to the hard disk.
The disk must contain drivers, or the convertor must be new and suited for your computer. And there should be a program, so you can save the music to a format you want, if the USB convertor not already dud so. Then you have to find out how it is saved.
Use media monkey to listen what you did save. It can work with almost all sound, independent what compression was used.
Most audio cards on most PC's do have an audio input, for mic and aux. if you have the correct cable's and the software (most of the time with the sound card) you don't need the USB and the strange

Probably the internal fuse or the amp blown. If these are the MK1 they are notoriously unreliable and you can't even change the fuse without stripping the thing down. Sound OK when working but don't expect them to keep working if you want to drive them hard. I know of some people who have changed them to passive and put a crossover in them (I suppose it at least means you have a speaker but defeats the object of active) There are plenty of independents who fix these as they are so problematic but if you can get a pair of decent speakers. The MKII is supposed to be much better but still has some issues with reliability.

This means that only one part of the sound is being transferred. Check the wire to check if its properly in. Also check if any wire is broken or loose. Check the power source too. ;)

"PHONO" is the only designated connection on a receiver that is literal and exclusive. Nothing but PHONO will work right on it and old-school turntables would require it to preamplify the tiny current produced by a Phono cartridge.

BUT, modern turntables like your come with their own preamplifiers, so they MUST be connected to a garden variety Line Level input like AUX (anything BUT Phono or it will overload).

"LP DOCK also has a line-level output for connecting to any home stereo with an AUX input"

As far as WHY your amplifier isn't making da music, that could be whole 'nother problem.

We'd need more details about it and the speakers to go there.

i had the same problem at first, if you have anything other than a usb output to your speakers go into control panel/sound/change system sounds and disable usb speaker device.

in the menu there should be some type of set up for this, it will most times show you on your screen a room with all the speakers in it and ask you to hit test then it will shoot a white noise type of sound around to each speaker and ask if you heard it, there are then adjustments you can make for the front, rear, and side sperkers independent of one another.

I uninstalled the previous audio software that the computer had. (Realtek HD audio) and turned off the onboard sound card in the BIOS settings. Then I went back and uninstalled all the new audio software and reinstalled it with all antivirus programs turned off. The main trick was to make sure that the matrix is turned off. If it is on it will play sound from all the speakers at once as if it were mono. Turning it off after changing the BIOS and uninstalling the old software and reinstalling the new allowed it to work properly. I hope this helps.

If you have your music and pictures on one hard drive, and transfer it to the external hard drive connected by usb:

1) Connect external hard drive

2) Select the files you want to move.

3) Right click on one of them, and choose cut.

4) Go into the external drive, and choose paste. (They will start to move over.

5) To see pictures, you will right click in the picture folder and choose view. Select large icons. That should work. Also you could choose view from the top, and select pictures.

This is not a problem, this means that your system is working. Polar Express was recorded in Surround Sound with separate tracks for each speaker channel. In most movies you will find that the rear speakers will only play certain sound effects so that it appears they are coming from behind you (gun shot, train, fireworks). Most of the diaglouge will come through the center channel and music/effects through the front left and right, with bass coming from the subwoofer.

Now, you can still hear more from the rear speakers if you like this enveloping effect, or if you like your music coming from all directions. There are Sound Effects options to have the front and back speakers always playing the front track, there is Dolby Pro Logic II that turns stereo sounds (like many TV shows) automatically into 5.1 Surround Sound, and you can also individually change the volume of each speaker.

These are all explained on page 29 of your owner's manual under Sound Options. If you need specific button to button help, let me kow.
