Receiver Model

Why is my Yamaha receiver only playing sound through the center channel?

I have an older Yamaha home theater receiver, model # HTR-5760, and the only sound that it is producing is from the center channel. I have moved other channel inputs into the center channel output, and they worked fine, meaning my connection to my amp is fine, and on the amp I have connected other speakers to the center channel hookup, showing that the amp & speaker connections are fine. But when I use the test tone on the receiver, only the center channel is heard. What can I do to fix my receiver?

It is likely that the speakers are turned off on the receiver. If your front channel speakers are connected to speaker A with the receiver in the surround mode, and the speaker A selection is set to "OFF" you would only hear sound out of the center speaker.

Refer to your manual to see how to turn the speakers back on to verify if this is the problem.
