    Finally got everything working last night. Watched a little finding nemo and it sounds great! (Got the scrolling "Dolby Digital" too! WOOHOO!) Watched Oceans 12 last night though, which claimed to be in dolby digital and got nothing from the surround speakers and the subwoofer status light...

    i think that everything will be straight once i get home thanks to all the help ive gotten here. Once thing i noticed is that my receiver volume has no low end. Meaning, i have to turn it up to 40 before i start getting any notable sound. Watched a movie last night (in prologic obviously) and...

    Thanks John. I just checked my manual online at sony and i know just where it needs to be changed. I do have to enable DTS seperately as well. Hopefully that will have me setup. How sweet it will be to see "Dolby Digital" scroll across the receiver display!

    You people are geniuses!!! I hope to get home and actually here some sound come through my speakers. For 5.1 setup i would not actually use the "B" front speakers, right? Use the "A" front speakers for the front surround, the rear surround as the rear, and the center channel as the obvious...

    digital assignments? You completely lost me on that one. Ive read that sony is not too well liked in this forum, not sure why. The only bad thing i can say about sony right now is the documentation that came with this receiver is worthless... guess they figure if your buying something this...

    Thank you John for enlightening me. It seems so simple now although it was quite confusing before. Im not at home right now, but i will try it as soon as i arrive home and see if i can get the thing working. By chance, can you tell me if it will hurt the unused channels while im using the 5.1 setup?
