I'm surrounded!

Well, it certainly took long enough, but I finally got all the pieces together that I needed to finish building my home theatre. I was missing a surround receiver and the rest of the speakers. Not anymore. So today was setup day. A lot of cable hookups (one of which I did wrong - in haste); running speaker wire; testing; device configuration........ it was not an easy task. I have no confidence that the average consumer would be able to figure all of this crap out. I has a few issues to fix, including the fact that both my DVD player and my PVR were not set up to output digital audio [shrug]. The receiver (a Denon) has its own auto-setup feature for setting all the channel sound levels, but I wasn't too thrilled with its result. Meanwhile, the system overall sounds quieter than my old 2 channel setup - I still don't know why. But that's my only remaining issue. Now it's time to go through the DVD collection and replay some movies in surround baby!
