I have an Onkyo TX-SR506 AV reciever connected to a Sony bravia TV and a Sony blu-ray DVD. The surround sound is excellent when playing a DVD, but when watching TV only the rear speakers produce a muffled & squeeky sound. I have connected the TV to the AV using a HDMI & Digital optical leads and the Blu-Ray to TV using HDMI & Digital Coaxial leads.
Make sure when you're watching tv, you set the receiver to all channel stereo listening mode.
Switch the HDMI cables around to make sure its not one of them, if the problem is one of them it will move with the cable,if no change i would suspect the coaxial cable next.

Thanks I will give this a try, but I thought the HDMI cables were only for video as my Onkyo is only a pass-through system.
Same issue: I am using the surrounds as a second set of stereo speakers for music and the range is very limited--they seem to cut out all frequencies for voices. The result is very muffled sounding. I tested the speakers on the front channel and they work fine so it is clearly the receiver that is outputting reduced frequencies. I've tried a number of output modes with no fix. Any thoughts?
