I can really tell the diffrence on the samsung home theater if would disconect the front speakers and just play the rears i could only hear some ambient sounds and noices from the movie ,,, any advice? thanks! |

With a lot of DVD players you have to go into the setup menu of the player and enable the Dolby Digital and DTS to be sent to the receiver. Check this first. |
