| Re: Surround sound question? Joe,
If I understand your question correctly, for 7.1 you should have a connection to the L and R surround and a separate connection for the L and R rear speakers. What comes out of them depends on the format of the sound that is being played. If the sound track is in 5.1 format, then the receiver should send the same signal to the side surround and to the L and R rear speakers. I'm not familiar with the Onkyo setup menu but it may have various options on how to process the different sound formats.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the receiver will chime in.
