I seem to be having the same problem with my Promedia 2.1 that many people in this forum have. I just moved my set to another room in my home, hooked it up, and now I am having channel issues. When Everything is hooked up & wired in (with a working iPod as sound source, but have also tried other inputs as well):
- Control Pod Light is Green
- Left Channel is putting out sound, but not the Right, and nothing out of the sub
- Left Channel Sound is very low, and somewhat tinny.
- This sound only occurs when the "Main Volume" is all the way down
- When the Volume control is turned up, the Left Channel volume disapates, and you can start hearing some output from the sub.
- This output from the sub does not change by using the Sub control on the Control Pod
- However, if I do fiddle around with plugging in the DIN to the sub, I can SOMETIMES get the Left Channel to produce full, decent quality sound. Though if I do this, the Pod light is not lit. Yet, the problem with the volume control still presents itself (where it has to be all the way down to make any sound)
I have done the basic troubleshooting as thus:
- Checked the wiring connection on the speakers at both the sub & speakers. Both are good
- Swapped the speakers, and the same symptoms are present (low volume, nothing out of other chan, etc.)
- Checked Control Pod for Bent Pins, saw none.
Please Note, I am not an audiophile by any means, but am an avid computer & electronics geek, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
