Hello,
In reality the correct way to listen to radio or any music source for that matter is in 2 channel stereo. What this means is that the front left and right will play and also the subwoofer. If you absolutely want all your speakers to play while listening to fm, than press the Multi channel button and set it to direct, or any other sound field that you may desire.
Good Luck
Well, maybe I'm asking the question wrong. When I watch TV (CBL/SAT) input or watch a movie on the PS3 (GAME/TV) input, I can hear the output on all the speakers (throughout the house (living room, bedroom, kitchen, hall, etc.).
When I select TUNER, only the front (or center) are playing sound. The subwoofer is not playing and the speakers in the other rooms are not on either.
I pressed the Multi channel button and it switches the input over to DVD (not Tuner). Is there a way to switch to Multi channel and have it stay on tuner?
It sounds like that receiver will only default to 2 channel stereo by design. Like I mentioned earlier, FM is not a source that is intended to be listened as a sourround sound source. How is it that your powering the speakers in the other rooms?
Yes, you cannot use multi channel with FM on that receiver, and most others that I know of for that matter. On fm you can use two channel or 3 channel and that includes the sub. 2 ch is left right and sub. 3 channel is left center right and sub. I would recomend you switch the other rooms to a seperate amplifer and use tape out from the receiver to feed them. That will allow you to have fm in the rest of the rooms, and also it wont put so much strain on your a/v receiver

Good question. The speaker cable comes out of the receiver and then into wall jacks. There's only 5 outputs coming from the receiver (center, front L/R, surround L/R). After the cable goes into the wall jack it goes through PVC piping to the attic. I went into the attic and saw 8 speaker cables coming out (plus our HDMI cable sharing the PVC pipe). 5 of these go to the living room speakers, 1 to kitchen, 1 to Master BR, 1 to Master Bath. All speakers are flush ceiling mount. I don't know how it went from 5 to 8. Maybe the Kitchen, MBR, and MB are all tied to one wall mount. I didn't take the mount off.
Anyways, are you saying I can only listen to FM with 2 of the 8 speakers and no subwoofer? That doesn't seem right.
