How to troubleshoot no sound from one front speaker on Sony STR-DN610 Receiver?
- C
  Craig ScottSep 12, 2025
  If there's no sound from one of your front speakers on your Sony Receiver, first test with headphones. Plug them into the PHONES jack. If only one channel works, the issue might be the connection between your component and the receiver. Ensure all cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both devices. If both channels work with headphones, the front speaker might not be correctly connected to the receiver. Check the connection of the front speaker that isn't producing sound. Also, when connecting an analog component, make sure you're using both the left (L) and right (R) jacks with an audio cord.

  If your Sony Receiver isn't producing sound from digital sources connected to the COAXIAL or OPTICAL input, make sure the INPUT MODE isn't set to "ANALOG". Also, ensure that the Analog Direct function is not selected. Check that the “A. ASSIGN” function is not used to reassign the audio input of another source to the selected input. If you're using the TV OPTICAL IN jack during TV input, set “ARC” to “ARC OFF”.

  michaelrichardsonSep 5, 2025
  If Dolby Digital or DTS multi-channel sound isn't being reproduced on your Sony Receiver, verify that the DVD, etc., you are playing is recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. When connecting a DVD player to the digital input jacks, check the audio setting (audio output settings) of the connected component. For example, when connecting a “PlayStation 3”, set the BD/DVD audio output format to “Bitstream” on the “PlayStation 3”. Also, set “AUDIO.OUT” to “AMP” in the HDMI menu.
