For most people, the assembly of home theater system is too complex and the probability of error is very high. Many people will encounter no sound from speakers, no surround sound or poor sound effect, etc. As long as there is no problem with the device itself, it is basically a setup problem. Here are some of the most common problems and solutions people encounter when setting up a home theater system.
1. Home theater no sound
No sound after the home theater is assembled? The first thing you need to do is check that your receiver is connected properly. Don't laugh - it's a more common mistake than you think. Carefully check all speakers for proper wiring. Of course, make sure you unplug the receiver from the power supply first to get an electric shock. Assuming the connection is correct, the problem is almost certainly a setup in the receiver software. Navigate to the screen settings menu and start trying different speaker settings. In some cases, you may need to manually assign speakers to certain channels.
2. Home theater surround speaker does not work
In some cases, the surround sound in a particular scene of a movie can be very subtle, turning up the volume. Assuming it's not a volume issue, check the speaker connection. And make sure your playback source supports 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Movies and series are more likely to have surround mixes, but not always, and if that's the case, you may need to convert the 2.1 mix to 5.1 or greater. Receiver settings are different, but you should find this option with DSP settings or similar. Again, use different settings to see if it works. If you are using a blu ray player, you may need to have the Blu ray player output in a multichannel bitstream. This option can be found in the settings menu.
3. Home theater front speaker doesn't sound right
Basically, this is related to the speaker size setting. This problem can be almost solved by proofreading in the receiver setup menu. Most receivers allow you to set the speaker size to small or large. Select large if you have a pair of floor speakers in your setup. If your front speakers are satellite type, select small. In addition, the frequency divider of subwoofer can be adjusted from 80Hz.
4. Home theater tweeter doesn't sound right
Assuming everything is connected correctly, try the settings on your A/V receiver. If you have a high speaker, you almost certainly have a receiver that can make 9.2 or 11.2 sounds, and it may just tell it to choose the right codec. If this doesn't work, you may need to think about how to position the speakers. For fixing positioning and orientation, check the documentation that came with the speakers to see if the manufacturer recommended specific content.
5. The universal remote control does not work
Check if the battery has run out. Check that you have selected the correct source. Check for any obstruction between the remote control and the receiver. Know whether your remote control uses infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF). A receiver using RF will not receive a remote control using IR.
6. No bass
Setting the sub frequency of subwoofer usually has a huge impact on the perception of bass. Start debugging from 80Hz. If you haven't seen improvements yet, it could be a connectivity issue. There may also be a problem with the placement. The most common place to place subwoofers is in the corner of the room, away from the wall; under and near the front speakers; or in your listening position. Find out where the bass is most prominent. Put the subwoofer there.
7. The picture is not suitable for the screen
The main aspect ratio of visual media is 16:9 And 4:3. Check your TV settings and choose the appropriate aspect ratio.
