My receiver is only playing the back two channels and I think it's playing the sub but not the center channel.



Any idea's? I have the receiver connected via optical to a WD LIVE with optical pass-through enabled.

Did you check to ensure your speakers are properly connected? Is it playing the fronts?

I had to go to channel B and I think I fixed it. My new issue is some of my movies won't play with sound because it's the in the wrong format. lol.. (I'm thinking about buying a much better receiver)

You should be able to get sound with any format that's on a disc. The 6130 lacks lossless decoders, but players will send lossy versions that your receiver can process. What movies can't you hear?

 

[audit13]

If your receiver can't decode DTS-HD or TrueHD, have your player convert the audio to multichannel PCM.

That receiver just does HDMI switching and doesn't process audio over HDMI. So, PCM is not a good approach. He must be using an optical or coax connection, which will always output usable audio.

Thanks for the information on the Yamaha. I didn't realize it does hdmi video switching only. You're right in that lossy audio over optical or co-ax is the only way to go with this receiver

I might end up buying the Sony STR-DN1030
