  If you're not getting any sound from your JVC Home Theater System, several things could be happening. First, the system cord or speaker cord might not be properly connected, so double-check those connections. Also, the audio cord may not be correctly connected to AUX IN or DIGITAL IN; ensure those are properly connected. It's also possible you've selected the wrong source, so try selecting the correct one. Finally, the decode mode might not be set correctly; in that case, select the proper decode mode.
