Receivers and Audio Components

Hello all.
I have a couple question's, and I hope I am putting this in the correct place as I run a top pc tech help site and I know it's a pain to move all the thread's..

My Father recently passed away and left me some things. The question I have is about these speaker's he left me. From what I can tell they are Genesis 1.1, I think its a point. Now I have tried for a day or so trying to find info on these but only find Bible references. These things are huge.. There at least 6 and a half feet, and the wiegh more than my house. lol..

I purchased a nice Sony surround sound set of speakers and also a Sony reciever to match. I only really wanted it for my tv but I cannot get the tv sound, only the radio when selected. I have it hooked up to the audio out 2 ( red and white ) of the tv then to the matching plugs of the reciever. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone. I am an a/v technician and recently i was hooking up a bose lifestyle system and encountered a problem. i hooked up all the speakers to the bose subwoofer provided and when i played a dvd all the speakers were working properly. but when i switched the input to tv one speaker would not work. thinking it was a bad input connection on the subwoofer i then hooked up the speakers directly to the yamaha receiver that was provided. and the one speaker still didn't work. the dvd was obviously a dolby digital 5.1 broadcast and the tv show was also broadcast in 5.1.
