Help!
I bought a sixth speaker to put in my home theater. I plan to use it as an additional surround speaker (center back).
Well, I managed to hook up the speaker with the Rotel RSX-1056 (which can run 5 speakers) and am using an older Yamaha receiver to power the 6th speaker.
I have gone to the menu in the Rotel TEST TONE. All six speakers are working!!!!! Yes! Including center back 1. Again, in test tone all work!
THE PROBLEM!
When I put in a dvd, the Rotel DEACTIVATES the CENTER BACK, and goes back to 5.1DTS/DD.
What the F$%¨K???? I wanted to hear some matrix sound created in the CB1 (center back 1 speaker). Instead, nothing!!!!! The receiver's shows all the 6 speakers activated (the little icons) when I put in the dvd, but as soon as the "menu" of the dvd appears, the icon for the 6th speaker goes off. I am a HT rookie, but think the DPL IIX decoder is turning off. It should stay on when playing 5.1 DTS/DD and I have selected a 6th speaker (center back), right???
Supposedly, the Rotel simulates an additional surround in center back 1 and center back 2 speakers. This allows you to build a 6.1/7.1 system, right?
Hope this message makes sense. Spent 4 hours trying to fix problem/rereading manual.
Basically, the Rotel reads DTS or DD and then the center back is automatically deactivated.
I thought it would stay on. Again, it works in test tone, but not in practice.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
