I have a Yamaha HTR-5890 receiver. It is hooked up to a 5.1 surround system.
I recently discovered that the right channel for front and surround is at a much lower volume than the volume of the left channels.
in other words:
Front Left zone A, Front Left zone B, and Surround Left all have good sound.
Front Right zone A, Front Right zone B, and Surround Right all have low sound.
My front and surround speakers are all identical.
my troubleshooting measures so far:
- confirmed it's not a speaker issue by swapping around the speakers, they each work on a Right channel, but volume is poor on the left regardless of which speaker they are connected to.
- confirmed it's not a cable issue by swapping the left/right cables.
I have had the receiver and speakers for almost 5 years now.
Here is the back of my receiver for reference:

any ideas? it seems to be a problem with the receiver. in researching, i've read about bad "volume pots"? not sure if that applies to my receiver.
