I have a Sony STR DG 820 Surround Amp and over the weekend I finally got round to adding the last two speakers for full 7.1. I am a little confused about the icons on the screen and what I should expect to see. I don't know about other Amps but the Sony has on the screen little boxes surrounding each speakers abbreviations to show that the speaker is active, so you have the initial SL for surround left with a box around it etc. Having connected the new speakers and set the Amp to 3/4.1 the two boxes for the Surround Back light up but the initals do not appear in the box. The manual is less than helpful on this point so is this o.k. The Surround left and right are lit up o.k with the initials in the box, just the back surrounds only has the box and no initials? They appear to be working but is the Amp splitting the sound correctly?
Any feedback would be most welcome.
