Selecting AVR and speakers mainly for home audio

[joshk03]

You are going to want to assign them properly as frontLeft and frontRight. If you want a more immersive experience, the receiver should have a setting to include your surround speakers. I think MultiStereo might be the setting name.

Hey Joshk03,
It's been long since I posted anything. Actually my AVR stopped responding and therefore I had to send it back for repair. They changed the motherboard and it took more than two months before I got it back. Anyway it's functional now.

Like I had said I possess only three speakers from DefTech; centre speaker and two monitors bookshelf. ( technology CS 8040 HD for the main center speaker and two Definitive technology SM 45 ) I plan to buy one sub- SVS PB 1000 in the non too distant future.

Could you suggest if I should assign the bookshelf monitors as surround sound speakers instead of front speakers, given the centre speaker doing its job well. Will it result in more immersive and steriophonic effect.

The most stereophonic effect you'll get is by running your three speakers in the left/right/center format. You can try the surround positions when you get two more speakers. The multich stereo mode Josh mentions would simply sum the left and right channel information for the center channel, it's a 2-ch mode, not a surround mode.
