Wierd Imaging Problem

I said that the imaging sounds correct but that is false.The center imaging sounds correct but the right side imaging will shift.Sometimes it sounds correct although lower than the left and other times the imaging that should be to to right moves closer to the center or to the center.

A example is on the cd Riding With The King by B.B.King and Eric Clapton ,track 6 "Help The Poor" Eric Claptons voice is always to the left and never changes position but B.B Kings voice on the right side will not always be in the same spot.I can listen to the track and replay it and B.B Kings voice will have shifted.It is always to the right but moves to different spots between the center and right speaker.

This is a puzzler, all right. Have you tried swapping speaker cables at the receiver? The problem should change sides. Another thought is if your receivers are the same make and model, that increases the probability of them both being afflicted with the same problem.

You might try borrowing a receiver you know works properly, and see if theat cures your problem. Post back when you find the answer, if you would.

Best of luck,

The receivers are differnt makes.I deceided to try something different.I have a box full of intercoonects that I have had for years and even though I had replaced them already with ones from my box I deceided to give it a go again.

First I had optical from the directv receiver so I changed that to digital coax and it made a difference.Both front channels sounded right after the swap.Before when Listening to the DTV music stations the left was always softer.

So I changed out the rca interconnects from the CDP to the amp and that made a difference.Now the stereo image and sound is right on the CDP.

So next was the PS3 I changed the optical cable as I am not using HDMI as neither receiver has HDMI and that changed nothing.So I blew out the Optical in connnection on the PS3 with compressed air and tried another optical cable.And now the PS3 SOUNDS RIGHT.

So either all the interconnects I was using are bad or my problem will return.My box of cables was a mess and all cables where tangled together and some in knots.So it should be no surprise as they could of easily of gotten broken.

As for the rca interconnects I remember having to really twist them to get them on and off the rca inputs.Why they make some of them so tight fitting is a mystery to me as I also remember using pliers to get them off once.So they could of gotten damaged either that way or in my cable box which also had stuff piled on top of it.Also on one of the receivers some of the rca input jacks are loose due to this.

So time will tell but I am hoping that al is well now.

When you have tight fitting RCA's like that, twist the RCA clockwise while pulling them off. Some companies (that make IC's) even recommend this, so no damage will happen. And they do slide off easier doing this.
