Denon 2312 speaker set up issues

Receiver: Denon 2312
Speakers: Four (4) Mirage OS3 Sat, One (1) OS3-CC (center)
Setup: Directv composite into Denon, WDTV+ HDMI into Denon, HDMI out to Toshiba LED
Issue:
While watching Directv, I can only receive audio from FR and FL in Stereo or Direct audio modes.
Through WDTV+, I receive audio only through RR and RL in almost all other modes (some more faint than others).
When I attempt the Setup Wizard --> Speaker Calibration setup, the front speakers produce no sound and I receive the message "Caution - No Microphone or Speaker".

The speakers are connected correctly (I can hear the fronts in some settings and the rears in others). What am i missing? This is driving me nuts..

Thanks for any help!

Thanks jdsmooth.

I haven't upgraded to DirecTV HD yet, ergo the composite connection. I previously reset the Microporcessor and went through setup again, but still experience the same issue.

I don't mind stereo for DTV, but would expect that the WDTV+ would pass surround. I would also expect the test tones to work in all speakers, but only work for the rears.

Also, before I installed the front OS3's, the OS3-CC center channel worked with an old bose system.

Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Thanks again,

The connections are all correct and secure. I have the "rear surrounds" set up as Zone 2 for outdoor speakers.

I unplugged the AVR for a couple of hours, then powered on with microprocessor reset. The DirecTV was in stereo. I went to the WDTV+ source, and only the center channel was playing. So I plugged in the microphone and the calibration menu popped up. I thought "alright, here we go", but was once again stymied by the "caution - no microphone or speaker" message.

Odd thing is, when I exited the auto setup, the center channel quit playing and I went back to my original problem - Only the surrounds will play, and only in modes other than Stereo or Direct. And test tones only work in side surrounds.

By the way, whenever I enter and exit the speaker calibration setup, the AVR makes a loud clicking sound.

Thanks for your help!

jdsmoothie - I appreciate your help.

I read over the weekend that the WDTV Live + does not support surround sound over HDMI. So I purchased an SPDIF optical cable to connect from the WDTV to the AVR. I'm still experiencing the same issue (sound only coming from surrounds), but think I need to play around with the audio output settings. Does it matter into which HDMI input the WDTVLive+ box is connected? It currently plugs into the BD (Blueray Disc) input.

To answer your questions,
when the DVR is playing, audio is coming through the FL/FR main speakers with AMP ASSIGN set to Zone 2? If DVR = DirecTV, then YES.

Also do you have the "Front Speaker Setup" (p. 105) set to "Front A" for Mult CH audio? When the AMP ASSIGN is set to Zone2, the "Front A / Front B / Front A+B" options do not appear in Speaker Setup.
