Hi

I'm unsure as I can't really say when the problem occurred. I have side speakers and also the sub located at the back of the theatre next to one of the 5000s.

The G68 went been back to Meridian for repair / possible firmware update a while back, so I do wonder if it may have occured then due to updated firmware, although I'm obviously not sure about this.

It's also possible that I played with settings some time ago and introduced the problem.

The only reason that I noticed it now was that I replaced the 5000C with a 5500HC and wanted to test the system.

The fact that white noise calibration played through these speakers probably did not help, as it was perfectly audiable and leads you to believe that the speaker is fully functional. It was not until I tried the sine / listened carefully for audio that the problem became apparent.

Like you I originally suspected a wiring problem which resulted in three days of cutting open walls and remaking all connections, I guess in the back of my mind I was always aware that the cabling was not to the high standard that I would have liked. Anyhow, all thats fixed now.

Also, about a month ago my wife was watching TV when there was a loud noise and then silence. No speakers worked until I physically powered down the G68 and restarted it. I guess I thought that this may have caused damage somewhere along the line.

As you know, the audio from the rear can be subtle at times and perhaps they were not working for much longer that I would care to admit.

Whilst I accept the situation for what it is I'm still in denial and am trying to find my upgrade invoice from 10 years ago!

Best Regards

Steve
