Some surround modes switch speakers on or off as required. It's possible that the inputs you are using have settings that remember your previous settings, ie: no sub and surround speakers. Check the inputs and also make certain that whatever is connected to them is putting out Dolby signals.
try hooking the radio power wires to the battery! To '' TEST'' twist red and yellow put on the poss. blk. on neg. ! take a speaker and test speaker wire out put! if don't work output is blown out! but will still work with rca jacks hook to small amp ! this to pull sound out of your radio for sure!!
One mistake many peoples make when it come to surround sound is that they don't hook up the right pole from receiver to speakers. Every receiver is very sensitive when it come to connecting the speakers correctly. make sure their are some kind of marking on the wires letting you know that is the positive line and no marking would be negative. hooking the wrong pole can short circuit the unit or burn it out quickly or work poorly. check your speakers connection making sure it has a good connection. check your rca jacks making sure they are good rca jacks connect to and from your systems. First I would check the wires making sure speakers connected to the wright pole from and to receiver, second check all the jacks making sure they are all good. Bad or blown speakers will also cause the rattling noise. test each speaker by using one good out put channel and swapping each speaker making sure they are not blown this way you can eliminate the speakers are bad or good. If everything check out than your receiver is defective, actually local electronic repair shop can test the unit if its out of the warranty.
Make sure your volume is not on mute. If the speaker icon on your lower right has a red x means its on mute. To test go to control panel and double click sounds and test. If Windows sounds work without speakers then problem is with speakers. Make sure volume is up, make sure its properly connected to correct output jack (usually green or light green). Also make sure speaker power on. If those things are correct check your device manager ( right click my computer) select "manage", click on "device manager" and on right pane check to see if theres any yellow exclamation, question mark or red x on the sound device section. Yellow exclamation or question mark means to update or install correct drivers. Check your speaker box if it comes with a CD. '
On many cars there is an exterior amp that the sound goes through before it is sent to the speakers. If the remote turn on wire isnt connected after you take your previous cd player out then the amp wont know when to turn on and therefore no sound will come from your speakers although your cd player is doing its job.
