When this guide applies

Correct selector, known line-level RCA source, current Audio Source is wrong.

Connection scope: Analog line / headphone audio. Symptom: Sound goes to the wrong output.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

step-0

Is a documented line-level source connected to this selector analogue input?

A raw phono cartridge or unknown connector assignment stops here.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

step-1

Is this selector Audio Source currently HDMI or Digital?

No blind toggle of an unknown or already Analogue setting.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

step-2

May the source type change with playback stopped and listening levels low?

The previous digital connector will no longer feed this selector; retain the old setting.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

step-3

Open Input Config for the intended named selector

Confirm the actual connector mapping even if the display name was customised.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.

step-4

Set its Audio Source to Analogue

Do not change another input, Input Trim, speaker configuration or Stereo Direct.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.

step-5

Does this analogue source now reach the intended main output?

Selecting a connector does not establish the source signal level or repair a cable.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

Possible result

Checks completed — report what happened

Completion is not an automatic solved result. Report your actual outcome; no Audio Review physical test or measured repair is claimed.

steps completed

Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

    Possible result

    Stop and retain the actual observations

    A required fact or response was not confirmed. Consult the exact product/partner documentation or official support. Do not escalate to a reset, update installation, internal repair or unsafe wiring change.

    next support

    Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

      Possible result

      A required fact is unknown

      Confirm the actual model, source, partner capability and current state before continuing. Do not guess a menu or interrupt a live session/update.

      insufficient data
