Well I finally picked up a reciever tonight, but it wasnt the one I wanted. My dad pretty much talked me into the 519 for whatever reasons, and I just got done watching a few blue on it. I have a few questions. I am a complete noob when it comes to setting up a reciever and here is how I am set up as we speak. I have my cable box running hdmi directly to the tv as I dont want to run the stereo all the time to watch tv so I just set it up directly. I run my PS3 to the reciever HDMI and then the reciever out hdmi to the tv. My question is, it doesnt seem like I am getting much sound if any out of my two rear monitor 30s. The front stage sounds very good with the speaker settings at either large or small. Am I missing something here on the reciever or the ps3? For some reason I am expecting the surround sound feeling to be well felt by the two rear speakers, but you hardly notice they are there. Watched bondock saints and italian job. Italian job sound good and bondock saits sounded okay, I know that BS is recorded in DTS-HD but I should still be able to hear out of my two rears... right?
