Haber, KlausMarch 9, 2022

So far, I had a Philips "HTR 500 Digital AV Receiver System. Now I want to reuse all 6 speakers from that system. However, I am not getting any sound from the newly purchased "PIONEER VSX-S 520 D-S AV Receiver (5.1 channels, 80 watts per channel)" connected to my Löwe brand television. I have followed the connections exactly as stated in the accompanying Quick Start Guide. I don't know what else to do! Are special speakers required or why would the existing speakers no longer work? What settings may need to be adjusted on the receiver? Where can I find this information in written form? Can someone help me??? I would greatly appreciate a quick and understandable explanation of what I can or must do. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, K. Haber
