Strange Frequencies !Hi-Fi.

[sueoc]

Hiya everyone,Happy Christmas.Anyway,ive encountered an unexpected problem,my stuff has just arrived from the UK,and ive just set up my beloved Hi-Fi separates system.Now all is working OK but my tuner is not sending out radio shows on local radio in true stereo,more like 80 per cent from one speaker,20 from the other,they are FM Radio stations.Ive checked the wiring and the Amp is perfectly in balance with CDs,and any internet music when connected to PC,so what do you reckon the problem is?All the best from Sue.

ive got my uk hifi here as well and mine's working fine i listen to SAFM all i can think of is the speaker wires in correct sides...red in positive black in negative, if one side is red in negative then might be problem but you say using CD'S is ok thats a strange one! what about balance control?

I think duncan-clan is on the right track with speaker polarity - make sure red goes to red and black (or white) to black (or white). Most speaker cable is non bi-wire (has one cable for positive and one for negative) and has writing on only one of the cables - I use writing=red in my systems, for everything, which seems to work ;-)

 

Double-check the polarity of the wiring to the speaker that sounds quiet...
