    Man, its on - its plugged up - it hooked up, I AM GETTING NO SOUND! IT GOES NO LOWER AND NO HIGHER! Its just a hollow sound that sounds like ****! I am trying to get this hooked up, please either help me - or dont post, im sorry, but this is really pissing me off! I paid for it, hooked it up - and it sounds worse than the yamaha! It has no sound, but yet it still does, Its like 1 db of sound that is playing that gets no louder or lower, and when u turn the amp off or the receiver the speakers make this terrible noise! CAN SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT IS TRYING TO HELP - HELP ME?

    Are you SURE you are using PRE-OUTs, not a 'tape out'?

    You need OUTPUTS, not INPUTS. Those inputs are to connect an external 5.1 processor (dvd player etc).

    Ok it's a HTR-5460, sorry man I checked the specs. No pre-amp outputs. Guess it's time to get a new receiver or pre-amp. :D

    Sid,

    Unplug the amp and set it on the carpet next to your rack. That's what some folks have done with their amps. ;)

    Yeah, I have been really mad at this pos! Well, I guess this meets the 6 p's...lol! Well I am going to later sale the YAMAHA (russ, not the adcom) - after i get all the adcom amps, and then I am going to buy a 5 channel NAD receiver, with 5 channel pre amp outputs! Muahahhaha, the yamaha receiver will later be sold, If i dont trade it with my Dad for something! lol!

    Troy - I decided to set it on my dresser, and get rid of the KLH left main, Ill put the right main back...maybe! lol!

    Yeah, I made a big mistake - first time learner here, no guidance and i didnt even think to ask! lol! But...yeah, im keeping the adcom but will later on trade/sale the yamaha with someone or w/e! But I give it to the adcom, its one heavy SOB!
