Why I can only setup for 5CH and not the 7CH? What have I missed in the set up?

its only supported 5.1 as real surround mean with more 2 speakers but you can feel the 7.1 surround without install 2 more speakers

I've had this unit for a while now, and it works really well for the room that it covers. regarding your question, I can't recall all the setup options, but keep in mind: It has a woofer, center and two sides. It simply simulates the 5 channel, meaning there is actually no rear sounds of course. In my mind, having it simulate a 7 channel is asking a bit much without the additional speakers. (note: I don recall all the additional speaker outputs offered on the back of the receiver to add speakers, but if you want a true 7 channel, this is not the unit for you)

Try the direct approach as recommended By Lonnie, below! Getting mine to connect was a little more confusing than it needed to be, but once set up, it is a run it and leave it box - Good Luck

I am not really sure, I have only setup for three different locations at one time.

The M5's are a lot hard to work with than the M2. I user UBNT products in all my installs and still have an M5 i could not get to work. I would use the m2's and some rocket dishes. You can use the M5's but you will have to be careful about the settings matching on both ends.

I couldn't even get it setup as a repeater. A seriously flawed piece of equipment. I purchased http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWLL9N8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it was a no prainer to setup. More pricey bbut then I didn't have to call China on my dime for Trch support.

Here is a video that shows what setup is needed.https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v;=CPYXSlJWCC4&list;=UUuI4IVC-QDoS-dyDLMlPwqQ

Good Luck....I returned two units that I could not even get setup...very poor software and NO, repeat NO support. Unit not ready for the big time.

Go to www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2013/2013c/eng.html#sys. Version 1.5.0

Sorry this took so bloody long (if you'll pardon my French). On the back of the unit you will find a bank of 5.1 outputs (there are none for 6.1); using a 5.1 cable (not supplied, naturally), connect these to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier / receiver. Or, if your amplifier / receiver is so equipped, you can use the coaxial connection (coaxial cable also not supplied). Hope this helps. My first thought was to refer you to the User Manual, but that woulda been snarky, and anyway the darn thing is so confusing it should be called a Useless Manual. But anyway, ciao for now!

I cannot give you a definitive answer, but I can tell you I have been trying to use a 4 w/o success. I happened upon this discussion while researching 2.0' s. It seems to be all that works.

I have only had my Coby for a little over a week and decided that doing the firmware upgrade was probably a good idea. I noticed mine wasn't on the most recent release. I figure that they have probably had a few of these machine instock for a while so the firmware wouldn't be up to date.

In not sure. I have the T5K267 and I actually can not get it to sync back up for hear rate. any ideas?

How are you hooking up the rest of the channels? Via 5.1 in the motherboard? TOSLINK (digital/optical)? Explain your setup in detail and I can probably help you out.

Doesn't work for me either. I looked at the manual and can't find an answer. Sorry.

Do I need to configure something in order to use it ? I bought one but I cant use it

Once you used the bi-amp feature, the total available channels will be 2 less. Yes, it will be limited to 7.1 only.

Yes it can be setup as a 5.1, in fact when using the powered zone 2 feature the unit will not allow use on 2 of the "7.1" speakers thus making it run like a 5.1 system on the main speakers. That is how I have my current setup. I use the 5.1 speaker outputs in my living room for the home theater and use powered zone 2 to stream music to my 2 outdoor speakers on my patio.
