My setup suddenly got no sound coming out from front and only surround speakers got some muddle sound....

I thought it's the notorious HDMI handshake issue again, so I switched input, "on" and "off" the AVR, even power off the whole thing and power on again....but, but, but "It's still the same!!!"

Got panic, went into the setup menu of the AVR and check if someone had done anything to it, but no, all the same setting.

Check the BD player setting, everything looks fine.....

How could that be?? I've got a lemon AVR (it's just less than a month!!)...so sad....

After 40 minutes of cursing and tweaking, then I saw one orange light on my XPA-3, I did not switch the power amp on!!!

That's the problem without main zone 12v trigger!!!

Wasted my 40 mins and energy for cursing for the wrong reason! :p
