5.1 system not sounding right.

[shafe88]

My Samsung 5.1 doesn't sound right when playing audio CD's or DVD's with only 2 channel sound. The left and right speaker's are very very low while the center speaker is loud. Radio, and the front and rear analog inputs work fine with sound from the front left and front right speaker only.

What is the exact model of the speaker system? Does the remote control have a button that allows you to change presets (like jazz, rock, movie, etc)?

It's a HT-Z320, It has no remote so I'm using a universal GE remote which doesn't seem to have all the features as the oem remote.

Well it would indeed seem that there is a function like that. Read page 63 on the manual: http/www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/HT-Z320

Are there any buttons like that on the device itself?

You may need to get the original remote to be able to set up the HTiB so that the channels are properly balanced. You can get one here:

When you play 2 channel sources the surround mode you use will affect how well the synthesized surround sound works.

I plan on buying a regular samsung remote. I think It might be do to simulated surround sound, I was listening to a CD and heard different sounds for all the speakers..

your centre speaker will sound louder for 2 channel audio, thats the way it's designed. It may also be that the centre channel is turned up louder than the L &R. If you can, just set it to stereo mode rather than dolby surround(or whatever that samsung device supports) for listening to music, it normally sounds better. But sounds like you need the correct remote to set it up properly as others have suggested..
