Diagnose Stereo Components

Stereos are used in the home to transfer a sound signal from audio sources, such as CD players or tape recorders, to speakers, allowing sound from the device to be transmitted publicly. If you feel something is wrong with one of your stereo speakers (or the stereo's central unit), you can run a quick diagnostic check to isolate the problem component.


Instructions


1. Disconnect your current speakers from the speaker ports on the back of the stereo.


2. Connect the good speakers to your stereo and play music from an audio source. If the speakers are still transmitting improperly, the problem is with your stereo's central unit.








3. Disconnect the good speakers from your stereo's speaker ports.


4. Connect one of your original speakers to an audio port on your stereo and play music through the speaker. If the speaker is transmitting improperly, you can diagnose the speaker as faulty.








5. Repeat the process with any of the other questionable speakers that were connected to your stereo.
