gonk,

What I did was go to the DVD set-up in menu. Moved from Coax 1, which is how my DVDs play and changed it to DVD 7.1 there and exited the menu.

Immediately, I got different sound that I was getting from the coax but I noticed something missing and moved over to both front speakers and found no sound. That's when I tried checking the connections.

I'll recheck the connections again and I'll try the DVD 7.1 input from the remote, although I find this remote not to be the most user friendly. If you don't remember exactly which device you're controlling it doesn't like to play along and sometimes, even when you do remember, it doesn't like to play along.

But, I'll give it another go. Thanks again, Dave.
