NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 So I have a surround sound system, it is hooked into the dvd player via the digital coaxial cable - the single orange-ended cable. So anyways, it is a 6.1 Surround Sound system, but I can't seem to find the setting option that switches it from the default setting of 5.1 to 6.1, so basically the middle rear speaker is just silent. That manual doesn't really help whatsoever for this. Problem two, has to do with static coming out of the speakers when I have it on the PL II setting(basically the best setting for watching movies). What happens is, it will be fine for about 20 mins or so, then you get about 10 seconds of static coming out of the speakers, and it goes away, but shuts off the subwoofer....then magically like a minute or two later it kicks back on, as you can tell the bass is back. The weird thing is, this static problem only happens on the PL II setting, if I am listening to music or even a movie, and have it on 3-Stereo or Stereo, or any other setting NO STATIC, but the PL II setting is what it is supposed to be on for the movie surround sound.... It's not a bad cable because I have already tried two different cables. I am thinking maybe bad compadability since they are different brands. The dvd player is a Toshiba, and the surround sound is an Insignia..... I am just not very sure at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the better half hooked up our first surround sound several years ago, we called customer service a few times and each time we had to do things that weren't mentioned in the instructions...
