I re-racked the living room stereo after finally getting all the outside work done and returning to the glorious AC, cleaned up 7 VCRs for repairs and just jammed last night. 1998 Pioneer VSX-D307 is the base.
Finally looked at the 5050 and discovered, yes, the speaker selector was not set right. How I don't know but it sits behind this computer...I missed listening to it.
Was offline all yesterday until about 2:45 am today...someone did NOT call before they dug up the Centurylink internet lines outside of town...phone service worked, no DSL.
