justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I am having 7.1 channel bi-amp setup. Two front speakers, one center, two front height, two side surround and two back surround. While playing UHD disc(Endgame) from Sony X800, I press the info shows all active speakers except two rear speakers. Successfully did an Audyssey calibration and tested the tone from all speakers are working properly. I tried all settings but still the same - no sound from rear speakers. Am I doing something wrong?

chaozhoi Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Were there any sound coming from ur rear speakers? Press info from ur avr do u see ur rear speakers active? Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcking1624705747 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Which AVR are you using ? Based on your description you have a total of Front Bi-amp = 4 channels Front height = 2 channels Side surround = 2 channels Back surround = 2 channels Center = 1 channel 11 channels. If you are not using any external power amps, your AVR needs to have 11 active powered channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcking1624705747 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Try to execute the test tones to check if the connections are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetherock Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 When I press info. only rear surround speakers are not active. The rest are actives +1 When you do a test tone, you should know if there is any sound.. you can download this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcking1624705747 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Not necessary to download test tones. Can execute manually inside the AVR menu - Manual setup - levels. There should be test tones playback for you to adjust the levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 I did the test tone and every speakers tested have sound. Even while playing the disc, I did the test tone all speakers tested with sound. But when switch back to movie the info shows rear speakers not active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcking1624705747 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Try switching to other Movie Sound modes to hear if the rear surrounds come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 I tried that still the same. I did not purchase the Auro 3D so can't test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcking1624705747 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Does it only happen when the source is D Atmos? What about when source is DD or DTS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Tested DTS and the same result. No sound from rear surround speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 I had tried a few disc only. This issue started when I added two side surround speakers to my setup. All the while my setup is 7.1 speakers with the rear surround speakers plug into the side surround speakers port. Could it be that I have to setup according to 9.1 setup? But when I do Audyssey calibration everything went smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayleh Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Take a look at the amp assign option and make sure it is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Initial when I added the two rear surround speakers and do the Audyssey calibration, no rear speakers were detected because I had set to skip the two speakers measurement. I corrected it and calibration done smoothly. Tested it with the test tone. Maybe I should try reset and re-calibrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaozhoi Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I had similar issue previously. Ended up was wrong amp assignment issue. Calibration and test tone no problem but rear surround no sound. Are u using any power amp? Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it helps Base on ur setup, u r likely trying to use 11 channels which the receiver can only support 9 channel amplification. Try removing the biamp for ur mains and recalibrate to see if it works Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justDaniel Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 I will try to remove it and re-calibrate. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Re-setup with out biamping. +1 ... and use test tone to confirm on your spk assignment (spk layout) and also on your built-in amp. (don't bother about audy calibration at this moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econav Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 You must check and set your layout , when you run thru the test tone not just hv sound come out , but to also ensure if it indicate on the spk channel SBL and the sound come out from the correct Surround Back Left spk and so on.... http://manuals.marantz.com/SR7011/NA/EN/UJDCSYbmaurycf.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
