Hi, 

I set up my Beolab 14 5.1 with the Sony AV receiver. Unfortunately, for me the sound from the rear left or right speakers are not coming out. Initially, I set these speakers as surround/back but the sony sound check would error out as it couldn't pick these speakers out. I had to then set them up as surround and the sound checks out fine but no sound from either movies or songs plays through those speakers. I did a 5.1 surround test using one of the Youtube videos and the sound just does not play from the rear two speakers. 

Will really appreciate any help.

Many thanks!!

I just realised that the "Sound Field" in the AV receiver setting that was not turned on by default!! Anyway, I had to turn that on to get the surround sound experience. Not sure why this is not on by default...
