    What to do if there is no sound from any speaker connected to Harman Kardon AVR 171?

      Megan HarmonAug 25, 2025
      If you're not getting any sound from any speaker connected to your Harman Kardon Receiver, it could be in protection mode. This might be due to a short circuit. Check all speaker wires at both the speaker and AVR connections for any crossed wires. If that doesn't solve the issue, the amplifier may have internal problems, and you should contact your local Harman Kardon service center.

      Taylor BrownAug 28, 2025
      If you're not hearing sound from the center or surround speakers on your Harman Kardon Receiver, consider the following: * Ensure you've selected a surround mode other than stereo. * Be aware that monophonic programs do not contain surround information. * Verify the speaker configuration in the setup menu. * Understand that stereo program material may not always generate center or surround channel information.

    How to fix surround-back speaker settings that cannot be accessed on Harman Kardon AVR 1710/AVR 171?
    • R
      Richard AbbottSep 8, 2025
      If you cannot access surround-back speaker settings and the test tone doesn't play through the surround back speakers on your Harman Kardon AVR 1710/AVR 171, it may be because multi-zone operation has been selected or assigned AMP channels have been assigned to Zone 2. Use the Speaker Setup menu to reassign the Assigned AMP to the surround back left and right channels.
