How do I connect 5.1 speaker to 7.1 Receiver?

425 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  SiriuslyCold
Hi,


I have a Sony 945 or 9xx receiver with 7.1 channels but I only have 2 rear speakers in the back, 1 center and 2 fronts.


Where should I wire the 2 rear speakers to in the receiver, Surround L/R or Surround Back?


Thanks.

SiriuslyCold,


Thanks.
Yep, that should do it.


Time to get 2 more speakers to get the 7.1 going.

badboyspack,


This set-up is for the master bedroom. When the house was being built, I thought 5.1 should be good enough so I only paid them to wire 2 speakers in the back.
ya, master bedrooms need wiring elsewhere, like bass shakers
