I have used both movies and test tones to try to get some sound out of the rears, but with no luck. The latest movie was Santa Claus 2, and the test that I use is from the Ultimate DVD Platinum setup disc, which has channel identification tracks for PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS. The test tracks should not be any issue, simple 5.1 encoding with individual channels identified.
I have had the 950 since the end of November, and from what I remember I used to get sound out of the rears...Thanksgiving and travel kept me from really checking out the system until just recently. I'm still hoping that it's some strange setup quirk that can be addressed. I have reset the 950, but that fixed nothing.
Thanks for your continued help.
