[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8690053, member: 540940"] Ugh, such a pain. For starters, it sounds like your rights are set up as fronts, and your lefts are set up as rears. But there's probably a polarity or two switched along the way as well. You could start by setting the fade/bal to FR/LT, disconnecting the rca's at the amp and plug them in Ch1 one at a time until you get sound. Same thing with FR/RT Ch2 and the remaining three rca's. Then LT rear Ch3. Then you'll be left with RR. If it's still funky you're dealing with some phase screw ups (+/-'s switched somewhere) which takes a lot more digging to figure out. I spent last weekend doing all this same crap - I've been tolerating phase problems for months, actually over a year. Took several hours and eventually deciding to eliminate my LOC completely. Now SQ is way up, my noise is nearly eliminated and bal/fade works like it's supposed to (y) [/QUOTE]
