Question

How do utilize the 5.1 channel surround sound /home theather speakers when watching ordinary free2 air progms?

Answer 1

Just change the listening mode from Dolby Digital to either Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Pro Logic ll .

Answer 2

Any 2 channel broadcast can sound like a 5.1 when you turn on the Dolby Pro Logic II option of your AV reciever

Answer 3

Most AVR's (Audio video receivers) have output settings that control what speakers are used and what signal is sent to them. These options will often be labeled:

5.1 Dolby

5 channel stereo

Direct

Pavilion

Concert

Ect...

You will need to select the correct setting that will take the stereo signal and send it to all of your speakers. The correct setting would be 5 channel stereo. Just remember to change it back to ( Surround, 5.1 Dolby or direct ) when you have a surround sound source.

   Good Luck
