I cannot get any surround from my otherwise great RCA F38310. I have checked OTA stereo sources and DirectTV stereo sources. The manual only mentions the ability to connect surround speakers, it is otherwise silent on this. I have tried the different modes in the Audio menu (Stereo, Stereo SRS, Stereo SRS - Focus) and digital out modes. I have verified the speakers work properly (using the EXT/INT switch to put the main front sound on them temporarily).
Previous RCA/Thompson chassis had a built-in decoder and amp for surround. Do I have a defective unit, or am I missing something in the setup or options, or doesn't this chassis (despite the manual) have a built-in decoder?
Thanks for any ideas!
