Just picked up an AVR-146 from hk to power basement ceiling speakers. I have no sound! Driving me up the wall lol. let me go over the basics.
I have power
I have mute off
I tested the speakers and all work
I used a surround mode and stereo
I plugged in an ipod and tried the am radio
I did not hookup all 5 speakers at once. Could this be a reason?
Is there a way i could check and see if i am geting voltage out of the speaker jacks do they make such a tool?

As boring as it sounds - have you gone through the set-up procedures as outlined in the owners manual? With some gear you have to set output parameters for one or all inputs. Just a thought.
Good luck, Phil -
yes sir!

During one speaker at a time shouldn't be a problem. What's your set up? 5.1?
A multimeter should work for checking the amp output voltage. if you have power there, then time to check the wiring continuity.
Also a "dumb wiring error" check: Are the paired wires for each speaker terminating as a electrical pair (e.g. the positive for one speaker not being mated with the negative for another speaker)? 'just thought I'd ask.... -
It started working then it didnt, then it stopped working then it worked. I sent it back to HK, hopefully they have a quick turn around.
