Newly finished HT room, but no surround out from 7.2 (1 Viewer)

[sunk318]

Hi all,

I have just finished building my HT room with all the wires running correctly.

I have Onkyo TX-SR605 (7.2) receiver with 7.1 sound system.

2 front
1 center
2 surround
2 surround back.

I have my computer and ps3 hooked up through HDMI.

I set up my sound using set-up mic that came with the receiver. When it measures the sound, each speaker works perfectly.

I also have my computer and ps3 in 7.1 surround mode when connected to HDMI. Using computer(laptop), I tested out each speakers and the surround outputs the sound the way they are supposed to.

However, when I play movies or bluerays, I only get sound from 2.1.

The only time I have all 7.1 speakers play is when I choose "All Stereo/Mono Mode" from the receiver.


I believe all the speakers are wired correctly and they are capable of producing sound. But I just do not get the surround I need to get!

I am so frustrated, if you can help on this I would certainly appreciate it.

Best,

Sun

What soundmodes do you get to choose?

I get most of all the sound modes but no Dolby Pro Logic IIx. I had that option at one point but it disappeared upon restart.

All the sound modes listed in pg 66.

I meant, based on your speaker settings, what sound modes is the AVR allowing you to cycle through?Or are you just pushing the sound mode button once?

I am not quite sure if I understand your question right, but when I calibrated my surround sound system, all 7.1 worked.

e.g. only left surround back makes noise when it is signaled to do so and such..

When you play something, what, when you press the sound mode button repeatedly...do you get?
