Hey guys. I'm having trouble w/ my home theater system. It started about a year or so ago. I always run my Sony STR-DE945 in surround mode, and the front speakers started switching off with an audible click (like when you hit a button on the receiver). It was briefly at first, but now the front speakers will only play for a few minutes, even w/ my ancient 5.1 dolby during movie play, and then they will turn off completely. My center speaker always puts out sound, so no problem there, but damn! it sounds so much better w/ those fronts playing! Oh, incidentally my Cerwin-Vega LW-12 Sub is buzzing very loudly when it's just plugged up, not even turned on.
My setup includes, as mentioned above, a Sony STR-DE945 receiver that I've had for a while (probably at least 5 years), JBL D315 front channel speakers (I've had them for around 8 years), and a JBL HLS Center speaker for the center channel.
I did a tiny bit of research on what could be causing this, and came up w/ the possibility of mismatched resistances between receiver and speakers. However, my receiver's resistance is 8 ohms, and my front and center speakers' resistances are all 8 ohms.
So I don't know what the hell to do. I wanted to run this by some folks who knew what they were talking about before I went out and bought an entire new system just because it's a little outdated. I'm just assuming my sub is busted and I need a new one, but I'm completely in the dark with most of this stuff. If you can spare the time to type in your opinion or personal experiences, I'd appreciate it. Help needed please!
