Thanks,I called to Sony to get my setup mike replaced and while at it, I asked about this. He gave the same explanation. Putting 4.5 in Bluray today. Nice toys !

Robert,Do the math. 3/2.1 is 5.1. 3 refers to L/R/Center 2 refers to L/R surround and .1 is the sub.So the max of 3/4.1 you are seeing is the 7.1 surround.Relax and go enjoy a movie. I'm about to do the same. - Love the receiver BTW

I'm not sure what you mean here, but, my Sony SW-2500 sub is connected directly via coax to the sub out on the 920. The highest number I can get on speaker setup is 3/4.1. When I change inputs the scan on the 920 info screen reads Dolby Digital 3/2.1. I do have surround sound. On test tones I have all speakers sounding. Originally crossover freq was grayed out, now it pops up all set to default 120 ? The 920 likes to default itself to all large speakers, I have to reset one back to small to get small which I have. Auto setup refuses with error "33 back surround". I have no back surround plugged in. It did work at one time. I did a full reset, no change.I contacted Sony via Email---useless reply.

Hi guys, I bought a SA-W2500 subwoofer and two SS-B1000 speakers one week ago and I just want to connect to my laptop because I don't have any amplifiers and receivers. So how can I connect them correctly? what cables should I need??Can someone help me please? If you know please send me an email! heymasonchen@gmail.com please attach some photos, thank you so much!

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

5.2.2 ( Front Speakers, Center speaker, Surround speaker, In Ceiling or Up Firing Speakers ) Plus Outputs for 2 sub woofers. In Dolby Atmos Mode7.2 ( Front, Center, Back Speakers, Surround Speakers ) Plus Outputs for 2 sub woofers Without Atmos enabled.Or you can set up a straight 5.2 setup I hope This Clears things up. If you had 7.2.2 you would need a receiver with a 9 channel amp The TX NR-636 only has a 7 channel ampCheers :-)

I cant explain intelligent amp assign very well, but I think it means you can assign the amps to certain speakers you already have set up in the "on screen menu" of the receiver. I have all the 9.2 speakers set up in my room. Its 7.2 plus 2 front presence speakers and 2 rear presence speakers and 2 more speakers for use if you have an external amp. I hope this helps and tried to explain the best I can.

Hey Gustavo,To use the 5 speakers instead of only two, you have to press the "PRO" button on the remote. I'm not sure how to do it without the remote.

Vikas, like others that have responded this is a very odd situation. Did you your Audio Calibration Mike to set up your system? Not familiar with the Yamaha setup but generally when you go through the setup you get an opportunity to accept or change crossovers, distance, volume, etc. and did you notice any difference during setup in the bass sound between the left and right speakers. I did a test based on your scenario since our rooms are about the same configuration and did not notice a discernible difference in the sound. One last question, are your speakers set to large or small (mine are set to large). It's very hard to do remote trouble shooting but hope this helps.

Hello.There are guides all over the Internet, but I would recommend going to Dolby's website. There is an interactive Home Theater Speaker Guide that will allow you to select speaker quantity, distance from the television and sitting area, and will give you angles for each speaker.The 7.1 Speakers does have four rear speakers. The two back speakers are generally set up at the edges of the sitting area, angled inwards toward the center of sitting area. The two rear speakers are set up on the sides of the sitting area and angled in slightly towards the center of the viewing area.Hope this helps.Scott Hello.There are guides all over the Internet, but I would recommend going to Dolby's website.

Andrew:>Here's the problem: the stupid Pioneer certainly has 7.1 OUTPUTS to the 7 speakers and the sub, but the INPUTS are only 5.1You can still use the 7.1 outputs to the 5.1 inputs; just don't use surround back left and surround back right.

Make sure you've plugged them into the subwoofer correctly. If you think you have, make sure you have a proper working sound card that supports 5.1 audio. If you have windows, also make sure you've gone into the system and configure them to be 5.1 with 5 speakers. Also go to properties and make sure "Speaker Fill" is checked. Hope this helps.

The receiver is perfectly capable of using only 4 speakers. Thr results depend a lot of room placement and speaker imaging for getting away without a center channel. I ran the setup and it recognized on the firdt sound sweep with the microphone that there was no center and automatically adjusted accordingly.

Really it depends on your system and what you want to do. But typical surround setup would require just one center speaker and that is what this is. Fantastic sound quality and output as well by the way. I know I ordered these for a friend and set this up along with a pair of the bookshelf speakers and they sound great. Now my setup also allows me to only use this center speaker alone and I could not believe the output by this one alone. Hope this answer helps you and good luck. I would highly recommend this to someone looking for good surround speakers and have the money.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

This is way past the date, but for reference, no. Only in setup does the GUI display. If you change volume or inputs or anything, there is no screen-overlay to show that.

The only control that I seem to find is that you can control either full surround or set up a stereo (front speakers0 unless I just cannot find it after 2 years of ownership I would guess that there is no control over single speakers.

70xseven, The "voice" tracks for most movies is usually found in the center channel. You can adjust the volume for each speaker independently, so if you want more voices, turn up the center channel (or turn down the other channels), and you'll be able to get the mix you're looking for. Center channel is usually assigned to voices. Left and Right front speakers are usually reserved for sound effects and music. Left and Right rear speakers are not always used (at least as much as the front R/L speakers), and are for surround effects. Does that help? --Mr. S
