Home Audio FAQ

By WebDrafter.com, Inc. w/ permission
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions we get about home audio:

Why am I not getting any sound from my speakers?
Don’t panic if you hear nothing or sound only from the front speakers. Check the audio connections from the source to the receiver, and make sure they’re securely attached. Or check the input selector and make sure the right input is selected.

My receiver shuts off sometimes. Why?
The receiver is probably detecting a problem in the speaker wiring and going into protection mode. If it shuts off to volume levels, this is the result of poor connections, a damager speaker, incorrect gauge wire or connecting multiple speakers to one output.

How do I make sure my surround sound speakers are working right?
If the receiver is outfitted with A & B speaker outputs, turn off the B speakers. Make sure individual speakers are enabled by going through the receiver’s setup.

What should I consider if I’m buying a new home audio system?
You’ll want to ask and answer to yourself the following questions: What do you want to use the system for? What type of music do you listen to? Do you have a lot of space, and do the speakers need to match the rest of your home’s look? How much do you want to spend? Does the system need to be wired or wireless?

How do I bridge an amp?
Check carefully to ensure the amp is bridgeable. Once you’re sure, use the positive terminal from one channel and the negative channel from the other. Look at the instructions that came with the device to see what terminals to use.

Be sure the speaker is on top of or very close to the screen otherwise the sound can ap
