No sound from surround back speakers.

•Check that the surround back speakers are set to LARGE or SMALL (see Speaker Setting on page 43).

•Make sure surround back processing is set to SBch ON (see Using surround back channel processing on page 29).

•If the source is Dolby Surround EX or DTS-ES with no flag to indicate 6.1 compatibility, then with surround back processing set to SBch Auto, there will be no sound from the surround back speakers. In this case, set to SBch ON (see Using surround back channel processing on page 29).

•If the source does not have 6.1 playback channels, make sure that surround back processing is set to SBch ON and a surround mode is selected (see Listening in surround sound on page 26).

•Check the speaker connections (see Connecting the speakers on page 17). If only one surround back speaker is connected, make sure it’s connected to the left channel speaker terminal.

• If your subwoofer has a sleep function, make sure it is switched off.

 

• Make sure that the Subwoofer setting is YES or PLUS (see Speaker Setting on page 43).

speakers (see Speaker Setting on page 43)

Front: SMALL / Subwoofer: YES, or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS (see Speaker Setting on page 43).

 

• Check that the LFE Attenuate setting is not set to OFF, or a very quiet setting (see Setting the AV options

 

on page 63).

•Check the speaker connection (see Connecting the speakers on page 17).

•Check the speaker level settings (see Channel Level on page 44).

•Check that the speaker hasn’t been set to NO (see Speaker Setting on page 43).
