Blown channel? Or something else

in Electronics
Well, we have an adolescent puppy that decided to start chewing on things now that he's 7 months old. I think one of his toys got stuck in my rats nest of speaker wire for my left rear channel (just moved, so I have not run the wires - just ran them on the floor and bunched up the extra at the base of the speaker). Long story short, the dog chewed through my speaker wires (looks like he chewed off about 2 feet of wire, in multiple sections). Wife saw this, but didn't know enough about electronics and didn't think much about turning everything on and watching TV until I got home.
I've noticed a few times now that all I seem to get are crackly noises from the rear speakers (both channels). I was worried, but then a commercial came on and it sounded just fine from the rears. Example - watching the Vikes preseason game now. Since its preseason, is it not fully dubbed for surround, and I'm just getting some feedback from the receiver trying to compensate and make it SS? Or is there some longshot chance that I burned out a specific format (doesn't sound logical, but I'm no expert).
I don't watch enough TV to really pinpoint when this works and when it doesn't - but I know for sure I normally don't hear crackling. I mean its loud enough to hear - sounds like a blown speaker or voice coil, but it goes away sometimes (commercials usually - i.e. other audio format I assume)
Please tell me I haven't relegated my SC-37 to a garage receiver and need to buy something 4K? My puppy is too darn cute to kill yet.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered…History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right” — George Orwell
“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
If it is try listening to a DVD that is known to have good 3D surround sound. Something like Finding Nemo or Star wars.
If it sounds good with a DVD you have a TV broadcast / cable problem. You don't know what you are getting watching cable TV channels sound wise. And it can change by show or commercial. It can be everything from mono to stereo to surround. But don't be surprised if they screw up the surround.

But I have an idea about your missing remote controls;
This. Our old dog ate about 10 remotes, not all of them ours. He’d eat them while we were at friends houses and stuff.
