I purchased a display model 805 a couple weeks ago from circuit city. I couldn't get anything but the front speakers to work. When i would change to surround, only the front speakers would work and you'd lose dialog from the center, etc.
In stereo mode they sound great, but the fact remains i couldn't get surround sound no matter what. I also tried different sources (xbox + ps3 + cablebox). All sources were hooked up with optical audio cables.
Despite hours of searching I couldn't find what the problem was, so i assumed it was a defective unit and returned it. Does this sound familiar to you or anybody reading this?

First off your problem was using an Optical cable. You can only get 2.0 (stereo) through optical cable when set to PCM. (for 5.1 dolby digital and DTS you need to set the PS3 to bitstream)
