I had the setup working great with sound coming from my center, front right/left, and rear right/left until one day the audio would only come from my center speaker. One possible cuase may be my two year old nephew pressing a series of buttons on the system.
What is the setup on this system that makes it play in surround sound? The only way I can ever get sound now is from the center speaker playing only the left and right channels now. (At least thats what I think is happening) Also I don't have the remote with me, its been lost for about 3 months now.

I tried to program the remote supplied with my Time Warner HD-DVR, only to discover that ... using the proper Yamaha code only allows you to turn the HTR-5740 off ... not ON!
I had to get the programmable version of the remote, and use its "learn" function to assign the "power on" function to an unused keystroke combination on the remote!

is there a switch in the back for surround on/off

as long as there is a speaker out from the receiver you should be ok just make sure polarity for spkr is right --remember you workng with AC current bad wire will cause fire==

You can use a hi-level to low-level adapter. Just remember, the Yamaha does not send power (wattage) to the sub, just signal. You need to use a subwoofer that has an amplifier either externally or built in.
