    No sound from right speaker

    Hi, I'm using a Sony STR-DE595 amp. It's been in safe storage for a while because it messed up a while ago, and I couldn't fix it at the time. My center speaker and left speaker work fine, but my right speaker is emitting no sound. There seems to be something wrong with the amp internally...

    Stereo split to speakers

    Have you considered simply buying a receiver and speakers? From my research the JBL Xtreme speakers sell for $300 each - you could spend much less on a solid speaker setup. To answer your questions, I believe it would work. The sound level would be lower and you would take a hit to the quality...

    5.1 Speaker problems on JVC.

    Is this your amp? http://tinyurl.com/zavayc3 Where are you connecting the blue jack? Try using a Y adapter - aux to red and white and see if there's a difference. Most walmarts have them for $4. You need plugs going into both white and red to use all the speakers.

    Which equalizer should I get?

    I have a Sony STR K840P 600w 5.1 reciever. I currently own all the speakers that came with it originally, and I'm looking at getting an equalizer, since the settings on the receiver aren't all that great. Which one should I get, and which cable do they usually use to connect? Attached is a...

    How to test subwoofers?

    I got an old Sony STR K840P 5.1 600w amp that came with all the original speakers, and I'm looking at upgrading the weak 100w subwoofer. I figured, instead of spending +$100 on a sub on amazon, I would check out all the subs they have at goodwill all the time. Is there a way to test them without...

    Is there any way to connect old 5.1 home theater to laptop or pc?

    Have you looked at getting a Y adapter(red and white to aux)? I bought one for my own 5.1 system and it works great. They have them at Walmart for less than $5.

    How to fix stero receiver imputs?

    Hi. I bought a Sony STR De595 from Goodwill earlier today for $30. I was amazed at the price, because I had a newer model before. So it's from 2003, I believe. The display and buttons work perfectly, but only one imput works. I imagine these can't be too difficult to fix, because I'd hate to...

    Connect Multiple Speakers to an Amplifier?

    I'm looking at buying a set or two of speakers. I'm no audiophile, but I enjoy having lots of sound when I listen to music. I currently have a set of JVC UX - LP5 speakers that works alright, but the display is shot. If I was to buy an amp like this one http:// and get a set of bookshelf...

    Microsoft Security Essentials won't update

    I'm running a 64bit version of Windows 7 on a computer that's a few years old. I recently installed malwarebytes, and found a few trojans and a good bit of adware. Aside from that, my computer is very clean. I quarantined the viruses, but just now my computer has been acting absurdly laggy...
