Here's my set-up:
Pioneer Andrew Jones FS-52 floor speakers (2)
Yamaha V502 receiver
Vizio E50 C-1 television
Samsung Blu-Ray player (not sure of model #; several years old)
I have speakers connected with 12-gauge wire and Rocketfish gold-plated banana plugs. All my connections are tight. I have an HDMI cable that runs from the Blu-Ray player to the back of the TV. RCA cables connect the TV to my receiver.
Last night I was watching a movie on Blu-Ray, and about ten minutes into it, the left channel went out. I switched speaker connections and the same thing happened. I'm sure the speakers are not the problem. This happens every time I turn my system on. Sometimes the left channel will return after moving the speaker wire around. I'm thinking that it may be a bad channel in the receiver, or my 12-gauge wire is faulty. This has been happening for several months and is very frustrating.
Is it worth have the receiver checked out? I like it as it has phono connections in the back for a turntable.
Thanks for any help!
Craig
