• Answer:

  Surround sound encoding is on the disc so if at any given time, there is no surround sound encoded on the disc then you won't hear anything. The rear channels will only come to life when there is something happening in the background such as a plane or car passing by or maybe bullets flying by. They will not play most of the time. It just depends on the movie. The most important thing with setting up a surround sound system is calibrating the speaker sound level and making sure you have the speaker size selection portion of the set up right. Read your owner's manual for more info on this.
