Hi Ann,

If the 4 upper range speakers are typical have you tried swapping them around to make sure the problem child doesn't have a bad connector or line?

I'll have to check my documentation on my SB 5.1 for hookup arrangements...have to dig it up...somewhere here. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif
