I have trawled the forums looking for an answer to this rather unusual problem, but I haven't found an answer, so I'm hoping one of you knowledgeable people might be able to help me out!
I recently added 2 extra speakers to my setup (I use q acoustics) to make it 7.1. This fantastic when I use 7.1 blu-rays (which I play through my ps3 slim via HDMI bitstream). BUT when I watch a 5.1 movie (which is the majority!) The onkyo seems to have a bizarre system where it plays the surround channels through the 'side' speakers and not the rear!!! This makes absolutely no sense. Surely a 5.1 surround rear signal should play through the rear speakers and not the ones at the side (or maybe through both). I have checked that all my speakers are wired up correctly and they are all done according to the manual
I have fiddled with the seup as much as I can, but can't seem to resolve this one.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Thanks
