ok - It is deffo capable of 7.1 apparently it has auto calibration with a mic - did you do that? and it should have a test mode where you can send white noise to each speaker to test - lookfor it in manual - test mode it will probably also have a setting where you tell it how many speakers of each type you have (E.G. front full range, rear small, middle small, centre full, Sub etc) you will need to find that bit and in there you can probably tweak the volumes by Db Also don't expect a lot of loud output from the middle or rear speakers - it's normally fairly quiet and enhances the main/sub speakers for effects only You can normally tell it they are working with the Dolby Digital intro on films and if you have some THX enabled films they normally come with a picture and sound calibration option too in the DVD menu Forgive me asking again - you do have 2 front, 1 centre, 2 side, 2 rear and a sub don't you? You should not need hdmi and optical for your setup - and you should probably only have the ampset to auto on hdmi too It may be in the output settings of the player, you might have to list what they are for us to suggest the best one. some good advice here! thanks very much... the speakers are indeed 2 front, one centre, 2 side, 2 rear and sub... i did autocalibration with mic in the middle - seemed ok, but then when i put a film on whenever you expect sound to come from the back speakers, instead they come from the middle. strange he.... but leave it with me, i will have another go step by step. travelling for work now, back on wednesday - so will try again later this week. will let you know how i get on! |

Ahah - the autocalibrations I have seen, you put the mic where you sit.
My son did his and then manually upped the rears for more "effect". Mine is all manual.
Assuming you have middles at the "side" of your viewing seat and rear's behind :-) you may well notice more "effect" from middle

Cloggs, you say that when its in calibration mode on the amp with a mike you can hear sound through rear speakers, this is because it is purely from the amp test mode so this is telling me that the source settings IE on your bluray dvd player are incorrect and the problem lies there
looks to me that you need to tell the dvd player that you have a 7.1 as apposed to a 5.1 system in the settings menu

make sure sound and video is set to HDMI on the amp... some amps however cannot sort audio out via hdmi, so id check your amp can 1st? if it cant, set the audio up digitally with an optical cable.

I know this may sound daft ... But is what your playing actually 7.1 and not 5.1 ?
