[Some speakers work in some settings and not others]

No, it's a Sony, he said he upgraded 

Theoretically it's an upgrade... I mean working vs broken lol

 

Edit: I also know some people don't like Sony much.

I got Sony STR-DH770 because it's what I could afford

Update: Upgraded to the new receiver today.  Sure enough, everything works now .  Thanks everyone for your help!!

Jumpers are on the speaker.  I'll update you guys Tuesday with (hopefully) the good news of everything working.  I have a new receiver arriving then.

So I did a hard reset and things appear to be even more strange now:

 

Now if I set things to 7 channel stereo all speakers have sound but the front speaker is exceptionally quiet (I set it to +5db when compared to the others and it is still barely audible.  I double checked the cables are positive to positive and negative to negative.). Even weirder: surround sound now works but the front speaker has nada sound.  Since the front speakers are by far the largest, I imagine they're not supposed to have the least sound (Lord of the rings for testing and they literally have nothing.  Gently put my fingers on the edge of the cones and the speakers don't even vibrate)

Update: the front speaker works when plugged into rear channel.  I've tried both rear speakers plugged into the front channel with nothing.  But it doesn't matter how many I've got plugged into the rear channels, they work regardless.  Manual shows I am set up right.  Thinking the receiver might not be working. :/

Thanks to both of you guys.  I've got the manual downloaded and will try switching the front and rear speakers and let you know.  I was out most of the day so far so I'll give it a go ASAP.  Thanks again for input!

Hello,

 

I'm brand new to this forum so if this is the wrong place to post this, please redirect me.  I got almost all of my system in yesterday.  (I'm still missing a front left speaker that is held up in shipping).  I have r26f for front speakers, rc10 center speaker, 2 r14m rear speakers, and a k100sw sub.  I got a receiver from someone that is a Yamaha RX-V657.  I got everything hooked up yesterday and have 2 "issues":

-the front speaker never has any sound regardless of media or receiver setting (I've tried having my sources: TV/Xbox one set to surround sound.  Used optical from TV and the Netflix app on the TV which supports surround, tried going directly from my Xbox optical and using surround bitstream.  I've tried stereo from both just to see if i can get sound at all).  Is this normal if I'm missing the other speaker (again, it's on the way)? 

 

-my other problem is that if I set the sound to 7 channel stereo, everything works (except the front speaker which never has sound): sub, center, and both rears BUT if I set it to surround sound (both from source and the receiver) only the center and the sub work

 

Is it possible the receiver is broken or is everything dependent on getting that second front speaker in the mail?
