      Tina TaylorSep 1, 2025
      If your Harman Kardon Receiver has no sound from any speaker and the light around the power switch is red, it is possible that the amplifier is in protection mode. Check the speaker wire connections for shorts at both the receiver and speaker ends. If the issue persists, contact your local Harman Kardon service center, which you can locate by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

    Why is there no sound from surround or center speakers on my Harman Kardon Receiver?
    • A
      Ashley GreenSep 4, 2025
      If your Harman Kardon Receiver isn't producing sound from the surround or center speakers, check that you've selected a surround mode other than Stereo or Dolby 3 Stereo. Also, if your input source is monaural, there won't be any surround information. Verify the speaker mode configuration and remember that the surround decoder may not create center- or rear-channel information from nonencoded programs.
