How to set up surround sound speakers to a TV?

I have set up my surround sound speakers but my back (surround sound) speakers don't play for the TV- change?

  • How do I get my back speakers to work for everything besides DVD 5.1CH... main question

  • Answer:

    first the source for the TV must be supplied to your receiver digitally through either an HDMI input, the digital optic or the digital coax input and the source must be in 5.1. your only other option is if your receiver has a virtual surround that uses the rear speakers but it's just not the same.

I'm not sure of your exact problem here. Do the back speakers work at all, or only when you use the DVD player? One solution could be the hook-ups. Did your surround sound speakers come with different colors of hook-pins [green, black, orange/yellow] or one insert for all speakers? If there were multiple colors, and only some of those have been hooked in, you will not hear sound out of certain speakers. You may need an adapter to convert your RCA plugs [speaker plugs] into a single 1/8 plug to hear all your speakers. Especially if your surround sound speakers are Logitech. Check here: http://www.amazon.com/Console-Adapter-Convert-Plugs-Single/dp/B0006U3ACY Also, you will then need the conversion cord of the 2 A/V [male] plugs to the single 1/8 plug. Hope this helps,

A couple of things that could have caused this: If you haven't turned off your 'B" speakers If you are in stereo mode. Hope one of these is your problem!

Well first - TV shows do not have a lot of rear channel sound. Only some of the cable channels or HBO movies might use the rear speakers. I suspect this is your problem. Try one of the DSP modes (hall, church) to see if your receiver will send more sounds to the rear.
