The surround system you have has two speaker options which allow you to run two sets of speakers. When I had one, one set (A) was used for surround sound, and set (B) by for speakers through out the rest of the house. I am going off memory, but there is a setting to add the rest of the speakers (Note that if one rear speaker has a bad connection), it will not allow you to use any of them). Make sure all your speakers for the surround are set up to (A) speakers (Do not use B speakers until you have your surround working), then use the shift and test button to check each speaker, you will hear static for the test. Note that the surround modes on this unit are not all standard, so I would highly recommend using an optical toss link cable. Also make sure you have an audio source that is outputting surround sound, and select the correct input. G-luck.

I think you mean the display only shows Front >>Channels<< available.

What source? Digital or analog (analog is only stereo).

Surround problem with Yamaha HTR-5930 5.1 Channels Receiver

The signal that comes from most tv's via the optical output is a stereo signal only. That is what your receiver is reading. You would have to manually set your receiver to decode the signal into surround,.

There is no setting that would choose one front speaker to work differently than the other. The amp or something in the audio path within the receiver is failing.

Hi there,

If you only have sound from the front left and right speakers when it's set to STRAIGHT, it means the audio source is only 2 channel stereo. As the audio source is from Blu-Ray, the audio should be HD if you are using the correct type of audio cable.

I really need more information from you to give a definitive answer. If you are only using a RCA type audio cable (red/white plugs) from the Blu-Ray to the Yamaha receiver then you will only get left and right front channels on the STRAIGHT setting. This receiver does not have HDMI, so you really need to be using a digital optical audio cable to get true 5.1.

Please can you let me know how the BD player is connected to the Yamaha receiver if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
BElectric

Check that the Blueray isn't set to downsample to stereo. Your receiver could also be set on stereo. Do you have a "sound" button where you can cycle through different modes?

Yamaha HTR-6030

The indicator is telling you you have a 2-channel input. You may have the Blu-Ray connected wrong. Or the source is only Stereo. I need more details to assess that.

The sound coming from all speakers is normal if you have any surround mode selected, regardless of the characteristics of the source

I imagine if you experiment you might find all speakers playing for any number of 2-channel sources, not just Blu-Ray. Besides actual Pro Logic decoding, the various surround modes can provide some interesting effects on non Dolby Surround material.

I recommend that you try them all on various recordings and you may find one or another of them preferable over vanilla stereo. I find that any given artist or music type, even within a given CD, may sound 'better' with different surround settings.

Front Speakers stopped working

turn on your video and start something playing, press the speakers button repeatedly until the sound comes back. this should bring back your front speakers, if it doesn't, double check your speaker connections and sound field program.

the speakers button should cycle through all available front speaker options.
