Hi. I have lost all sound from our surround speakers, including when Test Tone is used./ All other speakers and Sub are fine. Pressing SURR button displays 'Not In Use' caption. Am I doing something wrong, or is the unit about to die?

    Thanks, but I already tried that. It's not an analogue problem. I had found that particular link when I googled troubleshooting. I appreciate the assistance, though must admit it didn't solve the problem...

    Thanks for the link. However, the problem is not with analogue sound. I get no tone when trying Test Tone, and when I press Surround on the front panel, it says not in use. I am running via optical cable from a PS3, with all appropriate DTS, Dolby etc settings enabled. The test DVD was in Dolby 6.1 and another in DTS and another in 5.1 - all failed to give surround sound from the rear speakers. It worked two weeks ago from both rear surround speakers, then I lost sound from the rear left speaker a week ago, now I have lost both. Wiring has been checked and I have also checked output with another (working) speaker connected...No luck - no sound at all from the surrounds!

Hi,

Please ensure all connections are secure. it is always a good idea to go around the amplifier and simply remove and replace each one of the speaker and audio leads at the back of the unit.

Next disconnect the unit completely from its power supply and power up again after 10 minutes.

If the problem continues reset the custom sounds to factory defaults by doing the following.

With the unit turned off hold down mode + and at the same time power the unit on. SF initialise should appear in the display and all sound fields are reset.

With the unit turned on press mode + or - to cycle through the sound fields.

Ensure that A.F.D or 2CH or MULTI/ 2CH A DIRECT is not selected anywhere as this turns the surround sound off

Let me know how you get on.

Sony STR-DE475 - no surround sound

Thanks for all the info. It appears that the Receiver requires service as there is no test tone also. However, please clean the speaker cables and speaker jacks and reconnect. Also, try the steps mentioned in the link below.

7.1 speaker setup: no sound coming from right front/surr speakers

Solution to having no sound coming from certain speakers in a 7.1 speaker setup for TX-SR606 receiver when playing a DVD.

Review the cable setup for the DVD player since it was identified as the source of the problem. Best to unplug and plug in the cables to ensure they contact the back of the receiver's RCA jacks. Redo the microphone setup for Audyssey 2EQ calibration. A good chance that it is the cable that may have caused the malfunction and loss of sound from the speakers. The cables can come loose during setup and not plugged all the way to the back of the RCA jacks or a defective cable causing signal loss.

Can n ot get rear surrround speakers to work

On this reciever you have rear surround and rear back spkrs, if your using the surr back they have to be assigned if unassigned in the settings. If using rear surr spkrs change your surr field to 5ch stereo and your rear speakers will work.
There is no 7.5 unless you have 5 subs the 7 is the total number of speakers and the .1 is the number of subs in the system

Cant connect rear speakers

Hey there Subaquakid, the nature of surround systems is to identify separate extra channels of information and send them to the right address, being the selected speaker. In order for the rear speakers to work they need to be sent a signal. The media which you are using may not have the rear channel encoded. therefore the rear speakers have nothing to announce. Please ensure your source cd has the suround feature encoded. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
