Hi everyone,

I need some help with my setup.....

I have an Avant with a surround kit and a set of Lab 4s connected as front speakers. These work perfectly and are enough for the small room they are in. I have a spare set of CX100s, so thought I'd connect them through an ML/MCL converter and run them as powered rear speakers for surround sound. I connected the powerlink in to the back of the TV and entered the setup menu. After accepting the speakers and going through the noise test, all sounded good. I exited the menu and sound wasn't coming out of the rear speakers and the display shows only 3 (fronts and centre) are in operation...

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

I may be wrong, but I think you should press 'Go' once you have added rear speakers, instead of 'Exit'

I did that, but then had to press exit to get out of the menu....

Maybe by doing so, I cleared the setting. I tried it a few times in a row, with no success.

I just had a play with my Avant, by removing my rears and adding them again. Pressing exit is not the problem.

I will say, however, that my Avant always defaults to Speaker 3.  If I want the rears on, I have to press Speaker 4 or Speaker 5 on my Beo4.
Have you got 'Speaker' added to your Beo4 list?

No, I'll try that tonight and let you know tomorrow....

Thankyou

Hi, yes you need Speaker 5 to get the rears working and the Avant changes to Pro Logic on the LCD to confirm that its worked, or at least it did on my one!

Yesss!!!! It worked, now how do I set it to default to 5 speakers???

(if i'm not asking too much.....)
