Sr606 Help! Multi Chan...

[supersix4]

So I just sat down to try to watch Pineapple Express and it started and all of a sudden I got low voices and instead of it just saying HDMI and PCM over top the game/tv it now says multi chan...

all my settings seem to be the same in the listening modes JW if anyone could help me out

What type of player do you use? I have a PS3 with a 705 and that is what my display says when I watch blu's.

what part was it were the voices were low because I had this problem too and I was listening through the TV's speakers.

I know its not that because since the day I got it hooked up my tv vol has been at 0



it goes back to normal if I change the settings to all ch stereo but it still says multi chan like on the picture. would I still be getting my hd sound thru all ch stereo?

ok...the voices got real low when Franco was in his place in the beginning talking about the Pineapple Express weed.

I hope you find a solution

yeah no there is an opening scene from like the 30's and like you can see his voice moving and like whispers coming from the speakers but then if I switch the settings w/ the movie button on the remote and put it on all ch ster it comes back blasting but it still says multi Chan.

Do you have a center channel speaker? Multichannel is sending 5.1 audio so there needs to be a center channel as that is used primarily for the vocals/speech.

You pretty much answered your own question here. You are sending out multi channel audio (5.1) to stereo speakers (2) To fix this you need to open the players options and set the output to be 2 ch or purchase a 5.1 setup.

I don't know how I answered it?.... but I did try going to the ps3's manual set up and everything was 2 ch 5.1 but still it says multi ch. on the 606. Oh, I do have a 5.1 system that I didn't open yet(don't have all the wires.)

I have a 705.. to make the multichannel go away push another selection "DTS" etc... there is a button on the far left to go back

go to home depot and buy speaker wire ( spt-2 14gauge ) and hook up your speakers
