Thumbs down AMP replaced Stereo works again! BUT new issue revealed.

So a few months ago my stereo stopped playing sound. It crackled a bunch for a few days then completely stopped working or putting out any sound.

Found a replacement amp on eBay. I put it in and boom sound is back and sounds as good as new when playing the radio.

BUT when I play a cd the subwoofer doesnt work and it sounds very monotone.
How the heck could this be?

Before the original amp broke it sounded amazing weather it was on CD or tuner.

ANY IDEAS? our radio stations suck around here I cant deal with this!

Try the DVD slot.

Also check where the tone pre sets are when on CD.

The sound presets change when changing from tuner to cd or dvd?

Does the dvd slot play cd's?

Yes, you can program each source with different equalizer presets.
