$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  |

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?

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?
