Using Onkyo TX SR 606 with PS3- no surround sound

[admin_exported]

Hi,

the problem that i need help with begins with me connecting my ps3 to my onkyo tx sr 606 using an hdmi cable. this question may be very elemental but i would like to understand what am i doing wrong if i am not getting sound out of my rear speakers. only the front and center speakers are working. i have set the audio setting on my ps3 to auto, but i can't figure out how to configure my receiver to rectify this setting. would be grateful for any help that i can get with this.

Thanks, adeeyl

I'm guessing the rear speakers are probably off, I cant quite remember but you need to go into the menu and somewhere there you can adjust the volume levels. The rears are probably on 0

The first question has to be, what are you playing on the PS3? If you're playing a film, it's far more likely the amp is set up incorrectly rather than the PS3. However, have a look here for the standard settings.

thanks professor hat,

you are right, the amp wasn't setup correctly; i had the dolby settings wrong. managed to fix them after tinkering with them for a while. thanks for the reply though, the link is quite useful, im sure it'll come in handy soon.

merry christmas, and some very happy holidays!!

cheers

hi skularatna,

thanks for replying. you are right, the rear speakers could have been off. checked that too, but i managed to get the dolby setting right after playing around with them. learnt a thing or two.

merry christmas and happy holidays!
