I'm hoping that this is a simple setup issue that I have missed. I have filed a ticket for this problem, but I would appreciate any other help.

While I can get the channel calibration signal output through the rears (which proves that the connections through the 7100 to the speakers are all OK), I do not get any sound from the rear (surround back) speakers from any decoded signals using the 950.

When I try to decode a 5.1 source, I get fronts, center and sub all OK, but both rear channels are missing (using a test disc with a 5.1 channel check track).

My 950 speaker setup is as follows:
FRONT SMALL
CENTER SMALL
SURR SMALL
SURR REAR LB/RB
SUBWOOFER ON

When I turn on a DD 5.1 source, I get DOLBY D 3/2.1 on the display, indicating that the 950 sees a 5.1 source (which shows I have bitstream output from the DVD).

As far as I can tell, the tests seem to show that the 950 is having decoding problems. All help is very welcome.

Thanks
Pete
