<font color='#000000'>You get rear speakers only from surround sound enabled sources, like DVDs, VHS and certain television programs. To get this, your receiver must a) support some form of surround sound (dolby digital or dolby pro logic, for example) and b) you must have the signal correctly sent to the reciver (DVD player sends via digital coax or optical (these are recommended for best sound), VHS and television through stereo RCAs).</font>
