Hi,
I am a newbie. I recently acquired a Sony STR-DA5400ES receiver and Playstation 3 to use as a Blu-Ray player. I have a 5.1 speaker setup.
My confusion comes from the fact that I am playing my Blu-Ray movies using what Sony calls AFD Auto mode (Auto Format Direct). However, I am getting no sound from my surround speakers when I do. Note that if I choose other modes, I do get sound from the surrounds (meaning that they do work and are connected). But, I thought that if I usd AFD Auto that I would get exactly what the producer of the movie intended. But, I just listened to two movies that I know have to have surround sound in them (night at the museum, and the Matrix) - and yet nothing from my surrounds when in AFD Auto.
I've looked at the manual and it is not helping me. I'll continue to read it, but thought I would ask here.
Thank you for your time.
