I have a brand new Onkyo 5.1 AV receiver with Wharfdale 5.1 speaker system and a 2-channel DVD player. The DVD player has just one set of RCA (1 red and 1 white socket) output connectors.
I have connected the system and am getting sound from the center and both front speakers but not from the surround sound (rear) speakers. Even when I use the in-built radio tuner and watch cable TV (the cable box has just one set of RCA connectors like the DVD player), the surround sound does not work.
I have used an inbuilt system of the AV receiver called Audessey to automatically configure the speakers and the connections are all good. The AV receiver has the Dolby ProLogic II option for surround sound.
Do I not get any sound from the rear speakers because I do not have a compatible 5.1 DVD player or is there any other possible explanation?
