Help with center speaker - Blu-ray Forum

nightwolf2369 · 08-27-2009, 10:49 PM

Hey everyone, I just got my new Polk CS1 today and I hooked up everything correctly with my receiver (model listed in sig) and auto configured the speakers so that everything will be good. When I turn on the dvr box (connected thru HDMI) I get sound coming out the center as well as the two fronts.

However, when I switch to my BD player, I am still only get sound out the two fronts. It is just not registering on my receiver when the BD player is on.

Any reason for this? Help me out please.

It is set to primary pass-thru.

how did you connect your setup tho?

hdmi for both audio and video,
or
hdmi for video, audio based on a toslink/coax connection.

if you used HDMI for your audio needs, go into the
Setup menu
Audio,
and select PCM Multi instead of HDMI passthrough.

im still working on your receiver specs... gimme a sec

HDMI for both audio and video. I just turned it all off and tried again and this time I tried Casino Royale and that worked. They movie I used before was HP5 and that did not work.

well, okay then! i guess thats problem solved!

if ever, give the multi PCM a shot, and see how that performs for you. just a thought.
