    Ha, you were right. This weekend, I set up the received and just a few speakers (center, left front and right frontt) along with the cable box (HDMI on back to receiver) and Apple TV (HDMI to receiver). Worked really well. I did not hook up the rear two as I did not have time. One question -...
