Problem solved, new problem found
I reported last week that my couch speakers didn't work with my XBOX. Well, it turns out that they work great. I just didn't have the volume set correctly. Why, you ask?
Well, both receivers are from Onkyo, so they share the same remote code. That means that when I tweak the volume on the main receiver, it messes with the volume on the new receiver. So when I was testing them out with the XBOX, I had obviously turned them down inadvertently. Duh!
Guess it's time to break out the good ol' electrical tape and cover the IR sensor on the new receiver.
