Apologies if this is a daft question afloat in a sea of knowledge. I have a Pioneer Sc-lx83 which I have enjoyed for several years. I recently invested in some new front speakers for my existing 5.1 set up which gives me the opportunity to repurpose the old fronts to the side in a 7.1 set up. I have installed all the speaker on the Pioneer and been through its excellent automated setup algorithm so it knows all the speakers are present and working.
I am guessing Netflix etc won't have 7.1 encoded however I have several 7.1 Blu-rays which can be configured to 7.1 audio however I still however get no sound on the new side speakers.
My Blu-ray player is an old Sony DMP-BDT100 and my TV is an LG OLED.
Clearly this is a complex set up and I am not looking for an immediate diagnosis however at a systems level should I be checking the AV Receiver, the Blu-Ray player or the TV as I fear they are all involved in the setup.
I am also asking myself whether all the Blu-ray is recorded in 7.1 or only certain sections - a bit like when the original 3D films were released.
Any helpful pointers gratefully received or indeed suggestions on where to access a broader range of 7.1 compatible content.
