What is wrong with my surround sound speakers?

best dvd blu ray player 2011 image

V.L.

I have a HTS3400 Phillips 5.1 Surround Sound System, that recently, somewhere around my viewing of Black Swan, stopped working in the right front/rear speakers. I know it's not the issue of the speakers themselves because I switched the inputs for the left and right speakers and they switched from the issue going from right to left (hopefully that makes sense). What should I do? is it a problem with the audio source? i.e my bluray player or is it internal? Help please D:

Answer
Well offhand I'd say that something inside the main unit has quit. It has a tuner in it so set it to that function and if there still is a problem with the right front and rear then you will know it's an internal problem. The same can be said about it's DVD function. I'm assuming that you have an external component style Blu-ray player as the specs of the Phillips HTS3400 do not list one. As a recommendation, in the future you may want to consider purchasing a surround receiver and set of quality speakers rather than HTIB. The problems with these things is that the main unit often gives out and you are left with speakers that can't be used with anything else.

What video game system should I get?

Eric

This is going to sound really weird but out of Nintendo, Playstation, and Microsoft, which one is going to stay popular the longest? I am starting to hold off the idea of purchasing a Nintendo Wii due to the fact it almost seems like a nice secondary system to have. Not so much like when it was just N64 and Playstation. Any good ideas? Specs would also be nice.

Answer
PS3 Is free online play and a blu-ray player and the past has proven it's more "durable" meaning not to many problems such as red ring of death

Xbox 360 has a better online system and thats all i know that is better about it.

Wii is more about game play and has alot of family and mini game type games.
