Need help with new setup :(

[adamrudow]

I give up. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I recently purchased some stuff for a new apartment. I bought a 65 inch RCA TV (LED65G55R120Q), a Panasonic AV 6 channel Receiver (SA-XR55), and a Sony speaker system with 2 Towers (SS-F7000P), a center speaker (SS-CN3000P), and 2 satellite speakers (SS-SR3000P). I can't get all the speakers to work, in fact I've only been able to get EITHER the center speaker to work (when xfinity audio is set to Dolby 5.1) or the 2 towers to work (when xfinity system is set to stereo) I have comcast xfinity for cable and so currently have the cable box connected to the receiver via an optical cable. Can anyone figure this out and get all my speakers to work???

Should be very simple, the speakers connectors are labeled. During configuration the AV will output a test signal to each speaker that you can hear.

Where exactly are you getting stuck?

Did you do the full set up on the receiver?

This will confirm that all the speakers are correctly connected, levels and delays set, and speakers working.
Check the output of the cable box. It should be set to Dolby (or surround or 5.1).
Set the surround mode of the receiver to Dolby.
