Man, this thing is driving me nuts!
Well, there was no difference if I switched it to 2ch mode w/ cable. I guess I can live with it if it's a shortcoming of this receiver. The thing that is really driving me nuts is I can't get surround sound from the cable box. The display on the reciever reads Pro Logic and it has these indicators that show which spkrs are operative. These are boxes w/ letters in them. If you can imagine boxes around these letters, it looks kind of like this:
SW
L C R

SL S SR

What I get w/ cable is the letters SW, L, C, and R all with boxes around them. On the bottom line I get boxes but no letters for SL and SR and the single S is there but has no box. That S according to the manual means "Surround (monaural or the surround components obtained by Pro Logic processing)." The manual is very lacking in it's descriptions. Maybe I AM, in fact getting some sort of surround but I'm just not realizing it? All these different formats confuse me. I don't really hear anything from the rear spkrs though.
Right now I'm using the left and right audio outs of my cable box into the receiver. But this morning based on some advice I received, I snagged the digital audio coax cable from my DVD and ran it from the cable box to the receiver and I still got the same result no matter what channel I went to.
I know I've spun the topic off into another area but I'm just really frustrated by this mess.
