Setting up surround sound in my house.?

Question

Well ive never set up surrond sound and I'm having a bit of a problem; i have a bunch of speakers but only the 2 front speakers turn on im pretty sure i need to press something on the av reciever, it probebly doesn't matter but it is an onkyo.

Answer 1

you probably haven,t configured your av receiver to playback in 5.1 or Dolby Digital mode. It sounds as though it is set up to playback in the Stereo mode.

Your receiver manual should give you instructions on how to achieve this.

Have you not got a menu option on your remote. This should send you in the right direction. I can't expand on this because I am not familiar with the Onkyo.
