Question For Somebody Familiar With JVC's Receivers

I have just purchased an RX-5060B in the USA.

The speaker and signal indicators on the unit come on normally for my
front speakers (L+R). For the center speaker, only the speaker
indicator comes on; the signal indicator does not. (i.e. the letter "C"
does not lit up.)

Obviously, I seem to have some sort of signal problem with my center
speaker... I've read the instructions on p. 10 of the instructions
manual several times without being able to figure this out. Audio comes
out from all three speakers.

Any suggestions on how to fix this signal problem?

Thanks.

I suspect the problem is that the source you are using is 2 channel and your
receiver is using a surround algorithm (pro logic) to give you 3 channel
audio. On my panasonic receiver, the center channel indicator "c" only
lights up if the source is encoded using the center channel as a discrete
input. If I listen to 2 channel stereo (using pro logic to get sound of all
speakers) only the 2 front speaker indicators will light up. Try using a 5.1
source such as a movie connected via optical/coax and see if the center
channel speaker lights up.
