I used to have mine set up the way I enjoyed it. But I moved and lost the remote. I know that in some settings in the denon receiver you can adjust the power to each individual speaker which is pretty nice. It's all personal preference really. play with it for an hour or so.

Yes. There is a menu item that allows you to adjust the balance for all of the speakers. I bumped my rear speakers up a little because they are further away than they should be.

Which speakers aren't working? You may need to adjust the volume of the rear speakers. Also try changing the sound mode using the remote. The back speakers wont always produce sound in every setting. Also if you are not watching something that is coded for surround sound the rear speakers may not work. I had to go into settings and turn up my rear speakers and center channel.

The rear speakers don't come attached to the stands. You have to attach them yourself. They are attached with screws.

The answer I just sent assumed you had external speakers. If they are internal and against the backing the sound will be baffled unless you add external speakers.

I love this speakers. I have been a fan of these for about 20 years. I think the middle and high range are very good specially considering their price. I think that the set up you are describing will not achieve what I think you are trying to do. If you are thinking of having some kind of background music but not very serious about it perhaps this set up will do the trick. If you are thinking of having people over for a bbq or party I believe your sound will be weak and lacking base. Another issue of concern (depending of your set up) is the distance of your speakers to the source of your music. If the distance is too great, the quality of your sound will suffer. I would recommend using larger speakers. Other wise your sound will just be plain weak and get lost in the open. I would suggest speakers with an 8" woofer or bigger. Hopefully you can set up four of them. Each at a corner pointing down to the space. Hope this helps.

Hook up and run the speaker calibration. It will make a sound in each speaker and make adjustments according to your rooms acoustics. Also you might be on 2 channel stereo which doesn't use surround. Press movie button and try PL or HD digital

Answer contains more info then requested: If you are going to seriously test speakers, do so while system is still on warranty. Adjusting back, front and center speakers, is critical in regards to getting the best sound. I indicated my front speakers were twice as far from me, so that the sound coming from them would be louder. Sometimes the surround sound aspect can be overwhelming. Yes, it is possibly to damage speakers due to volume level. More so by maintaining speakers at a loud volume. I do not think you will damage them if you want increased sound just for a movie, or party, etc. However, and probably the most wise thing I can say. I am not an expert, and have no idea what I am talking about. Jusdt trying to use what limited common sense I have.

Dear John--Great!Although I am an electronic engineer, I never had installed a serious audio system until a few months ago. At the time, I was amazed that people with non-technical backgrounds were able to get their Surround Sound systems going, especially considering the sometimes inaccurate and usually incomplete instructions from the component manufacturers. I am thankful for this and other forums that help fill the information vacuum!Best Regards--Bill

I just set this system up in my living room and I did not have room for all 7 speakers. The manual states to set up the L & R surround speakers and not the back speakers for 5.1 sound. I followed the manual and ran the auto speaker calibration and it sounds great. The surround effect is amazing watching DVDs and cable TV movies.

I'd also recommend the Hogtunes speaker system. Works great. There are also YouTube videos that walk through the installation process.Good luck!JB

In my opinion these are best used as rears in a 5.1. Try the B652 or micca speakers for a cheap stereo set up.

Go to Set-Up,scroll down to Audio settings,then scroll down to speaker settings,from there you can determine the best sound from the distance settings of your speakers according to room size. Play with it awhile until you get the volume and the type of sound best for the room you have it set up in.you can adjust it by distance and sound level. It can get quite loud once you do this,I had to go back and adjust it a couple times because it was shaking the china in my wifes china cabinet which is downstairs,due to too much bass. it may take you a few tries to get it the way you want it,but you will be very happy with the sound once you do. have fun!

You could try to use something like the Rocketfish universal or Amphony 1600 wireless rear speaker kit.

I hooked this up for a friend who had a display table for his flat screen. So the left and right laid on the table, and the center was placed right in front. Then for the rear, we bought two simple stands and ran the wires up the center pole of the stands. Keep in mind, use Velcro on the base of the rear speakers and the stands, in case someone "bumps" into them. If you are wall mounting, then this is the site for the speaker mounts....http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Deluxe-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QNBUA4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_y

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!
