$25 on tilt or stars for most valuable help.

Got a sony surround sound thing today which includes

4 speakers a centre speaker and a sub woof.

the front left and right and sub work, but the back two speakers do not.
(they work when i do the auto calibiration i.e they are wired up properly)

my mate said something about going on sky and setting it to 5.1 but idk what im doing to be fair.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Settings
Sound

You can change the digital audio output here but dont think that would be it.

You sure what your watching has sound from the rear ;)

silly question but u got optical cable running from sky box to surround sound?

settings ---> sound on what mate?

ya, optic cable is in

Sorry Trigg

In your Sky menu's

For me services, right one, down one, right one, down one.

The sound from the back left and right speakers will often be very slight compared to the front 3.

Have you tried a DVD/Blueray and if you have, what does that sound like?

on the amp, only the 2 front ones and the sub are lit up.

Stu. Got that menu on sky

Audio Output                                  stero
Digital audio output                          Normal
Digital Output Delay                         Oms

which is it mate at the mo they are on ^^^^

digital audio output needs to be dolby 5.1

did i win?

no, theres no dolby 5.1   just dolby D

sigh

so close to my dream win

struggling

Maybe what you are watching is not in 5.1. You will find if you put in a DVD, then all 5 will light up, but when watching normal TV with no surround it will only light up 2 maybe 3 speakers..

You may also need to use the



Digital Output Delay                         Oms

and change that once you have it set up, as a general rule needs to be 2-3 ms behind for the sound to match the movements on the TV.. As long as Digital Cable is in, and the input on your surround is set to digital then you will be getting what you should get..

Sounds stupid, but maybe the volume on the back 2 speakers need turning up more than they are pre-set, as back speakers are for surround rather than front sound..

Have you tried what dan suggested? Does a dvd play ok with all the speakers working?

Did you choose 'save setting' when you switched to Dolby D?

Are you sure that the film you're watching on sky outputs dolby D?

Whilst you're setting up try unplugging your front speakers.

Makes it easier to hear if anythings coming from the rear. Fnaarrr fnaarr.... yip yip.... woo woo.....

Been waiting 3 years for Darren to sort ours out.

blu ray came with the system, put a dvd in and turned amp onto dvd, but nothing on tv, having a beast

nothing on tv?

you need a cable from your blu ray player to your tv. This might go via the amp but not necessarily.

it should be an hdmi cable for HD ouput.

Don't forget that with this system your picture and sound are completely separate because you're using the amp.

You have to get each set up separately.

If the picture goes via the amp you'll have hdmi from blu ray to amp then from amp to TV. Have you got this?

on the surround sound is the input changed to D-In or Optical in or what ever its called. My panasonic one is D-In for my xbox
