Surround sound help!!!!!?

Question

My Epson MovieMate 50 projector comes with 2 built in 8w speakers. I hooked up a 5.1 surround sound system with 5 speakers and a sub. The only sound that comes out is from 2 speakers and the sub.

Question is - Can the projector handle 5 speakers since it only came with 2???

Thanks

Answer 1

Your surround sound system has a receiver in it that handles the sound. The projector doesn't handle 5.1 sound and so the speakers in it have nothing to do with anything at this point. If you've hooked the speakers up to the receiver correctly but are still getting just the fronts and sub, you probably have the receiver set for stereo and should switch it to Dolby prologic.

Answer 2

no its for 2.1 sound...
