A friend has the above receiver DSP-1000A (it might be DSP-A1000), and the
center channel has gone out. I have not looked at it but wondered before I
do if this might be an easy fix or if it is hard to tell. I know that is a
broad question but I thought some here might have some insight.



Thanks

Multi meter is all I have access to right now.

What kind of test equipment do you have? Scope, signal generator, DVM?

Some more info on what you've tried etc might help trace the problem
quicker.
I suspect the amp channel is probably fine as the amp would trip if there
was a serious fault.
Its far more likely that the centre speaker is turned off (phantom) in the
centre mode menu, or that you are expecting sound from that channel in one
of the DSP modes when it only operates in Dolby modes.
If you check that the centre is in fact set to wide or normal and then run a
test to get hiss from each speaker in turn and you still don't get
sound...then you've a fault.
Report back...

Thanks for the help. We got the problem solved with a little embarrassment
on my friends part (he's a HT pro)!
Turns out one of the speaker cable leads had pulled out of the jack but
could not be seen. He had looked at the connections when the center went
out but did not see anything. He figured it was the amp since things have
been hooked up for a very long time.
