Problem using headphones with the C2

[john4618]

I’ve had my C2 and A51 for about 2 weeks and the following is what I’ve experienced when using headphones:

Here’s what happens when the headphones are plugged into the C2 headphone jack - and I tested everything using 2 different sets of headphones with several DVD’s and CD’s and the following behavior was the same every time:

The only modes available when the headphones are plugged in are Stereo and Mono modes.

1. When I select Mono mode, the right side goes dead and I can only hear sound out of the left ear.

2. When I select Stereo mode, the overall sound from left to right is fairly balanced, but when watching a DVD the dialog is dominate on the left ear -- and when listening to a CD the voice is dominate on the left ear -- and when watching anything on DishTV the voice is dominate on the left ear.

So last week I called Parasound and they had me send the C2 to them for repair. I received it back today and they say they replaced the DSP board.

The only difference now is when in Mono mode I can now hear sound out of both ears. But in Stereo mode the dialog and voice is still dominate on the left ear – has anyone else experienced this ??? Is my C2 properly working ???

Thanks for any feedback.
