please Help me

[problu]

guys i just bought the onkyo 5.1 today model HT-SR600 and tobe honest i dont know anything about speaker system.so i already connect all the speaker cables and stuff.im using fiber optic for my PS3,and BD-P1400.so my question is how will i be able to get the 5.1 playback because i can only hear 3 speakers everytime the two small ones and the subwoofer only.how can i make them all work? and should i set it to PCM or BITSTREAM?please help me im so hopeless.

In all honesty, I'd recommend hooking the BD1400 into the analog (RCA) inputs on the back (RCA out for each speaker from BD player, to RCA ins for each speaker on receiver) . This will allow you access to HD audio content that is decoded on the player.

That's good advice, but it still wont solve his problem. I believe I have answered it in the HT main section - I appears that he has his front speakers connected to Front speaker B instead of A. (Even if he does what you say, unless speaker B is on - he will only hear his surrounds and his sub - every thiing eventually must be decoded to analog - we hear in Logarithims, we can't "hear" digital - its only 0's and 1's.)

Yeah, what Slec said.

Have an old school receiver and want Lossless audio??


...but if you stick to an Optical cable, it should be set on bitstream.

I'm well aware of the 'A' 'B' zone issues with this receiver, I recently replaced the receiver in this package with the 605. Good call none-the-less... just figured i'd recommend he get the lossless in its full glory.

thank you for your reply guys.coz this things giving me a headache do you think if i can still return this coz theres this guy who is selling his HT-SR800 for $300 but its used.what you guys think?

[Slec]

The 800 only has video pass through over HDMI, you'd run into the same scenerio... unless you paid more than that for the 600...

[problu]

so should i stick to this one for a while?because my budget can only afford this HTiB and i only live in apartment.

return it and get hdmi audio and video, you will regret it later.
