Help!!! Problem with Pioneer 575

For some reason the above has stopped playing 5.1 sound through my TV! It plays 2.0 discs i.e Friends but with 5.1 movies I get the picture and background sounds i.e. explosions and soundtracks but no dialogue.

Has the machine got to go back as I seem to have gone through all of the settings.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Pete

you haven't done something daft like changing the audio properties by
pressing a button on the remote?

i did a similar thing not long after i'd had my sony davs300...i'd been listening
to an audio cd in stereo and forgot to change the audio on the remote (i'd selected
5.1 from the dvd disk menu) but couldn't figure out why the dvd wouldn't play in 5.1

took a few minutes to realise what i'd done!!

........is that gasoline i smell?

The Pioneer asks what type of sound system you have in your setup.If you tell it you have a full 5.1 set up,when you play 5.1 through a tv,all the centre sound is lost,so you won't get dialogue.If you tell it you have a normal 2 speaker system it will play back through a tv fine.
Check the initial setup section and recheck the settings for your audio output.
But if you tell it you have a 5.1 setup,any 5.1 material needs to be listened via amp and speakers and not tv

Ah right! So Pete's being a prat! Doh! Never really noticed it before as I normally switch the amp on once the 5.1 movie is firing up and dont think I have ever watched a movie with just through the TV. Could be wrong though.

I had a similar problem briefly with mine. I'd unplugged my optical cable to use with my PS2 and when I reconnected it, I had exactly the same problem you report - music, sound effects but no dialogue. All I did was unplug the optical cable and plug it back in again. When I switched everything on, it all worked perfectly again.
