First a greeting to everyone. This is my first post, and I'm so glad I found a place to share my passion for HT, and to throw questions out there for people who have been into this a lot longer than myself to knock out of the park.
I really thought that I had a pretty good set up until I starting reading some of these posts, and man you guys don't play around. In my circle of friends I'm king in the HT dept., but compared to a lot of you it's looking pretty average.
Anyway, backgound on my system. This is my very first by the way.
Monster Power HTS3600 PowerCenter
Pioneer Elite 53 inch HD projection TV
Sony Progressive Scan 301 disc DVD changer
DTV HD Sat. Receiver
DTV Tivo Sat Receiver
Yamaha RX-V2500 receiver
Velodyne DPS 12 Sub
Infinity Beta 50 Towers for FL and FR
Infinity Beta 360 Center
Infinity Beta ES250 Surrounds
The Beta ES250s have a Bipole, Dipole, and Monopole settings. For those of you who are not familliar with this speakers, they are wall mount speakers. They are in the shape of a V, with the point of the V facing at you and the wide part of the V mounted to the wall. Each side of the V have a 5 1/2 inch speaker and a 1 inch tweet. If you select the Bipole setting and wire it seperatly (4 binding posts on the back of speaker) it can run 2 discrete channels from one enclosure.
From the beginning what I wanted to do was was mount 2 of the 250s one on my BL and BR position in my listening room. Let the speakers facing TOWARD the middle of the room play the SBL and SBR channels and the speakers facing AWAY from the middle of the room play the SL and SR channels for a 7.1 system. Theorticly I don't see why this wouldn't work.
But it's not. I have my SBL and SBR channels working fine. The SL and SR however I cannot get a signal to or from however you should look at it, (They don't work). I understand there are not many things at all formatted in 7.1 yet, but I can't even get test signals.
I have spent hours wiring and rewiring to make sure my connections are good. Also going thru my Yamaha's owners manual trying troubleshoot different settings to no avail. Suggestions, advice, a checklist of things to try, anything would be greatly appreciated.
Even though I'm probably getting the meat of my surround expeirence with the two channels that are working for me, I would still like to fully utilize what my receiver and speakers are capable of.
Thanks in advance,
Justin
