It would be helpful...but I dunno. (Tomorrow dons dunce cap.) We get frequent power outages here, or maybe it was a cosmic ray.

Yep...got it recalibrated and it's good to go. .... .... until .....

One possibility is that when I checked the rears...there may not have been much or any signal going to them. I even shut down all the speakers but the rears, just to verify. It's entirely possible, though doubtful, that what I was playing at the time was sending little or no info to the rears.

Are the panel displays any different now than before? It should light up no matter how strong the signal is as long as the format and the right processing mode is active to correspond to the display.

Is that disc actually DD-EX? Does that recevier have options for how to deal with EX soundtracks? Some have options for always use the DD-EX decoder (same as THX surround), never use it, or only use it if the flag is present.

Try setting the option to Always.

try the ext surround button on remote you may have to use the left right buton to go through the options
