Gene, thanks so much! I never thought to hit the SET-UP button again afterward (and if it mentions that on page 17, I'm still not finding it, but that could just be me :-) ). I'll try this for sure!

Because the rear two speakers are the only ones with wire long enough to reach where my mom is sitting (which is where she wants the sound).

Thanks for your reply, Joe. My mom didn't want the home theater experience. She merely wanted to have speakers close to her that had sound in them because she has a hard time hearing. You are correct in that she didn't know anything about home theater systems when she purchased this. My job was...

My mom just got an RCA RT2906 and every time she turns it on I have to go into SET UP and turn off the center speaker (because this is the only way I can get the rear speakers to have the main sound/voices). But when we power down, it goes back to center speaker ON. Neither the remote nor the...

Ha ha ha! No, you're all brilliant and I am SO appreciative of the help, really. In a forum such as this, you guys are probably used to high-end systems and here I am asking about my tinker toy, basically. My mom is VERY happy with the set-up I've been able to achieve. My only quibble now is...

So here's a question... on the manual... ... there's this part that talks about digital connections. Is that supposed to be IN ADDITION TO the HDMI cables I have? It doesn't seem like it could be instead of HDMI cables because the back of the receiver only has inputs for HDMI cables. Do you...

I would very much like to put the system into "stereo" mode, but can't figure out how. :-( Having the voices from all four speakers would be the ideal situation. I had to switch the wires for front and rear rather than just MOVE the front speakers to the rear because the front speakers have much...

Thanks! I would have considered that had the speaker wires from the center speaker been long enough. But I did get the two rear speakers to have the voices... now I just need to figure out how to have it not RESET to the factory defaults every time it turns off.

Oh, gotcha. Thanks. So far, I managed to make the rear speakers have the voices (I switched the rear and front speaker wires and turned off center speaker). Now my only problem is that the receiver shuts itself off if there's no input (we turn the tv off) for x-number of minutes and when you...

:P

BTW, thanks for bearing with me! So here's the manual section for "Advanced Sound Control". Let's start with confusion #1: The first section seems to make sense... this first option "DIMMER" controls how bright the LED display on the receiver is. But then there's the second section: NIGHT...

Thanks... okay, won't plug two sets of speaker wires into one speaker connector. :-) "If you turn off a speaker in set-up mode, the receiver should send what used to go to that speaker to the other speakers. I'm not sure if that helps any." Hm... I'd love to try this, but don't seem to see an...

Thanks so much for your speedy reply. I think most of what you're saying is over my head. This is so sad because I used to be the "go to" person for electronic hook-ups. Ha! Oh well. The only "mixer" I've ever used was when I was in a rock band, so yeah... probably no mixer her. Just receiver...

One other thing I was thinking of trying (but not sure if that would wreck anything)... is plugging the wires of two speakers into one speaker connection.

Thanks. I'll continue to experiment. In the "set-up" mode, I'm not finding too many options. The main two that seem to have an effect are "center yes/no" and "surround yes/no". So far I turned those off and switched the speaker wires for left front and left rear. Now we do hear voices from the...

Just hooked up a HTS for my Mom because new tvs don't seem to have headphone jacks. Turns out very few HTS do either. Got a cheapy-RCA (Rt2906) and hooked it up but almost ALL the sound is coming only from the center speaker. Mom wants to hear the VOICES coming from the speakers that are closer...
