Why is there no sound from the speakers in Zone 1 of my JVC Receiver?

E

Several factors could cause this. First, check that the speaker signal cables are properly connected. If not, check the speaker wiring and reconnect if necessary. Ensure that the SPEAKERS 1 and SPEAKERS 2 buttons are correctly set and that the correct source is selected for Zone 1. Also, verify that muting isn't activated by pressing the MUTING button. Finally, ensure you've selected the correct input mode (analog or digital) and that all connections are correct.

This message appears when the receiver is on, but both Zone 1 and Zone 2 sounds are deactivated. To resolve this, press ZONE 1 ON/OFF for Zone 1 operations, or press ZONE 2 ON/OFF for Zone 2 operations.

Why is there no sound from the front speakers in Zone 2 of my JVC RX-DP20VBK?

Several reasons could cause this issue. Start by checking the speaker connections and reconnecting them if necessary. Ensure the Zone 1/2 setting for the speakers is correctly set to FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS to use them as Zone 2 front speakers. If you're using an amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 PREOUT, make sure it's turned on. Verify that the correct source is selected for Zone 2 and that muting is not activated by pressing the MUTING button. Lastly, ensure you're using analog connections for Zone 2.

How to fix JVC RX-DP20VBK Receiver when CD tracks are skipped, tape is rewound, or radio station is changed unintentionally?

This can happen when the same source is selected for both Zone 1 and Zone 2, causing interference between the zones. Selecting different sources for each zone will prevent this.

Why does “EXES7.1 OFF” appear on the display of my JVC RX-DP20VBK, and 7.1-channel reproduction mode cannot be used for Zone 1 sources?

M
Martha PetersAug 27, 2025
This can occur due to several reasons. First, if the “SPEAKER 2” setting is set to “ZONE 2 SPK” or “BI-AMP OUT” on the ZONE 2/SPEAKER 2 submenu, set it to “SPEAKER 2” and activate the surround back speaker(s). Also, ensure that the “SURR BACK SP” setting is set to “LARGE” or “SMALL,” not “NONE”. Finally, if the speakers connected to the FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals are activated, deactivate the Zone 2 front speakers and activate the surround back speakers.
