Why is there no sound from the rear channels?

Make sure the speakers are attached to the rear channel outputs, and your receiver is in surround sound mode. A simple test for correct set-up of your receiver and speakers is to use the test tone function of your receiver or decoder. Refer to your receiver’s manual for instructions on how to perform this test.

Note: In general, when watching movies, the amount of sound coming from the rear speakers is much less than that coming from the front and center speakers. When listening to music in stereo the rear speakers will not be activated.

Why is there no sound from the center speaker?

In order to get center channel output, your receiver must be in Pro Logic, or Dolby Digital surround mode and the program source must be in a surround format. Use the Dolby test tone function mentioned above to check the set-up of your speakers and receiver. See your receiver or preamplifier owner's manual for complete instructions.

Why am I getting ONLY center channel output from TV broadcast or videotape?

The station is broadcasting in Mono, not Stereo. If you're playing a videotape and get only the center channel, the movie is not in stereo and/or you have a Mono VCR. You need a stereo VCR to get surround sound from prerecorded tapes. Rental tapes of movies that have been in circulation for months may have poor sound quality.

How can I turn the speakers on my TV on and off?

Most TVs have a switch on the back panel, or an on-screen menu that needs to be accessed. If the line output of your TV is marked "variable," you'll need to turn up the volume on your TV and then turn off the speakers so they do not interfere with the sound from your surround sound speaker system. See your TV owner's manual for details.
