Hi Yusuf, Why not connect a pair of headphones and see what happens? I would be surprised if the headphone socket was mono, but I have heard you say it more than once. It also could be your lead that is at fault.

I tried to connect it up through a fono cable to my amp and am only getting sound out of one speaker. I've now got to find a way of connecting my Goodmans and DVD player through my Amp so that I can have sound through the Amp but not have to have the TV turned on.
