System does not detect 5.1 audio signal
If your system is receiving and playing audio but not 5.1 surround sound, try the following:
Be sure the audio/video device connections are correct.
All sources must be connected to the TV and the TV's audio output then connected to the "TV Input" on the speaker array. To ensure that a digital 5.1 signal is auto-selected when available, connect the digital audio output from a single source device directly to the AUX input of the speaker array.
It is also possible that a connection may have come loose or may be incorrect at the source. Check to see that all output connectors on the audio/video device are firmly seated. For information on attaching other audio sources, see Connecting other devices to your system.
