Onkyo 605 Help

[PS3+HDDVD OWNER]

I've finally got my first bonafide Home Theater Setup and ready to rock and roll. But just when i thought life was good i noticed a couple of issues.

A) When i play my PS3 i am only getting sound from my front 3 speakers, no sound coming from my rears. My PS3 is set as the Game/Tv mode, but i haven't really done anything on the receiver as far as settings are concerned. Only ran audessy and let it be. While watching BD's, i get all 5 speakers working (no sub just yet). My receiver reads Game/Tv while playing Ps3, is there anyway to get it to display what kind of audio it is playing, or is that correct the way it is?

B) I just today noticed today that i think Circuit City sold me the wrong center channel speaker. I purchased what i thought to be a CS2 center channel for $63. The speaker i have however is definately not a CS2, i believe it to be a CSM


I'm not too concerned about the center channel right now, because i will scoop up a CS1 or CS2 within the next week or so. But only having my front 3 speakers working while playing PS3 is annoying. Can anyone help me out here? What do you guys have as your settings on your Onkyo 605??

same kinda problem w/ mine(606) (also using a ps3). I don't know what I did to it to make it change


I'd help you if I could but as you can see I am not good w/ amps lol

how are you running the the audio ( hdmi or optical ) and do you have your audio out set to bitstrem or pcm on the ps3 this makes a big difference

Sorry i should've mentioned this is my original post.

HDMI Connections
PS3 set to PCM

From what i understand i should be getting sound for all 5 speakers, as i get while watching BD's. I know i dont have a subwoofer and all, but i didnt think that'd make a difference. Do any of you guys have special settings on your 605 that auddessy didn't set?

are you rear speakers turned on in the receiver

[BUBBASAX420]

what speaker lights are on in the receivers display screen when this occurs

did your auddessy recognise all the speakers ??
are your surrounds in surround or surrond rear ??

I'm not sure, how can i tell?

If not how would i navigate the menu and turn them on?

When i ran audessy, it picked up all 5 of my speakers and they all tested fine
