I currently have a Harmon Kardon AVR 340 and a pair of Swans 5.2 main speakers. I'm about to get a center channel for my system and build a set of surrounds, but I have an issue; When I "enable" the use of a center channel on my receiver the sound "oscillates," like there is a short in the system somewhere. The oscillation doesn't have any rhythm, the sound gets lower, then returns to normal whenever it feels like it. The receiver works perfectly when I use it in stereo mode, but when I enable the center channel, which I don't have but will be getting soon, the problem starts. I am about to take it to a repair shop to have it looked at (the fans don't work on it, either) but I wanted to know if anyone has any input.
*EDIT* I hooked up a crappy boom box speaker to the center channel output and enabled the center channel. Everything sounded correct and I wasn't able to pick up on the oscillation in my main speakers. Do I simply need a center channel hooked up when I enable it or it will sound incorrect?
