To enable the rear speakers for movie playback on the Onkyo TX-SR800, follow these steps:
1. Enter Speaker Setup Menu: - Go to the “1. Speaker Setup” menu.
2. Set Surround Back Speakers: - In the speaker configuration (Speaker Config), set “Surr Back” to “Small” (or “Large” if applicable) to enable the rear speakers.
3. Verify Surround L/R Settings: - Ensure “Surr L/R” is also set to “Small” or “Large”.
4. Set Speaker Distance: - Go to “2. Speaker Distance” and input the correct distances for the surround and surround back speakers.
5. Level Calibration: - Go to “3. Level Calibration” to adjust the volume level of the surround back speakers for balanced playback.
6. Select Appropriate Listening Mode: - Choose a mode like “Enhanced 7” or “THX Surr EX” (set to On or Auto) to make use of rear speakers during movie playback.
These steps will configure the TX-SR800 to use the rear speakers for movies.
