Anonymous | Hello, I have a complete Sony surround sound system, which I do not have the owner's manual to. I cannot seem to get the surround sound to work properly. When switching surround sound modes on the receiver either the center channel will come on by itself in one mode, or in another mode the center channel will turn off and the 2 front speakers will just come on, etc. The back speakers are not coming on at all. I ran the sound test and all speakers seem to be working just fine. I am not an expert but my guess is that I don't have the RCA jacks hooked up correctly. Right now I am running RCA's between the receiver and the digital cable box. Can someone give me basic hookup instructions or a diagram, etc. Thanks in advance, MM |

Rob Xiaou | Unless you are using 6 RCA cables (one for each channel), you're not going to get surround sound from your cable box. To get surround sound, use digital coaxial audio cable, or optical audio cable. But make sure your cable box supports either one of the cables. Have you tried watching a DVD with surround sound audio tracks? |

Derek | Actually "Surround" only requires 2 channels. Dolby Digital 5.1 requires six analogue or one digital connection. For simplicity sake, stick with 2 channel analogue from your VCR, DVD, Tuner, TV and cable box and something should come out of all 6 speakers if you have the Sony set for Dolby Pro-Logic. Any of the other fake surround modes can have unpredictable results like the ones you are having. The back speakers do no always obviously come on. There typically has to be something encoded in the source audio for them to play. Hope this helps. |
