Home Cinema not working - / reciever fault?
Discussion
Ignoring my earlier how to set my home cinema up thread, I more or less managed that.
However when setting up the speakers & reciver they run through an auto test to set speaker levels and things.
This is where the problem arises, the system tests front left, front right, centre, rear right, and then when it tried rear left it gives a speaker not detected error.
I first suspected my cabling as i'd recently fiddled around, reinstalled cableing etc, so i ran a new cable from the unit to the speaker, still got the same error.
So i swapped the rear left and front left speakers around, speakers works fine in front left position when tested but system still fails on rear left.
Reciever is an Onkyo tx-sr506 speakers are Tannoy SFX 5.1
Does this sound the reciver is faulty? Just on this one speaker connection?

Try swopping the cables round at the amp end to see if you get a sound when the amp is testing the 'faulty' rear speaker. If you still don't get a sound, then this means it's the amp (which seems likely I'm afraid to say).
I've tried an entire new cable from amp to speaker, if thats what you mean?Still didn't work.
Tried both new and old cable on two different speakers, neither of which work in rear left position but both work in any other position.
Or do you mean somethign else?
