I got a easy question for some of you audiophiles. I just picked up 2 new speakers for the rear/side of Mr. Couch. When I look at the back of my pioneer elite receiver it has the following speaker terminals:

Front L/R
Sub
Center
Surround L/R
Surround Back/B Left and Right

So which "surround" speaker terminals do I use for the best sound on a 5.1 system? Im guessing the first surround L/R? I looked at the manual but it doesnt give a straight answer. (unless I missed it) It talks about 7.1 setup for optimal sound, bi-amping (which my speakers dont do) setting zones for other rooms etc..

Hi - you guessed right. You'd use the "Surround" instead of the "Surround Back" for a 5.1 set up.
