OK. Just tried the reset suggestion. With the interconnects in place and the DVD player hooked up through coax #1 (even tried an optical and std analog). The same result. A high pitched hum/static coming from the center speaker. It is tough to tell if the same noise is coming from the other four speakers because the volume is so low even at -10. There is sound (movie/music) coming from all five speakers, but the "noise" is so loud from the center speaker, I'm not real sure what the rest of the system is doing.
It was worth a try. I'll give the Outlaws a call tomorrow.
