Was trying the speaker calib with my new system and for some reason the system could not find the Rear Speakers? It is a 7.1 system but am only using 5.1. I have the speakers hooked up in the rear speaker hookup in the back. When manually calib it notices them fine. For a noob is it worth doing the AUTO calib? Help would be greatly appreciated.

You have the rear surround speakers plugged into the wrong speaker terminals on the back of the receiver.
On a 5.1 setup using a 7.1 receiver the "rear" speaker terminals are for the 6th and 7th channels. You need to use the side surround channels.

It still knows they are there but the standard is if your only using 5.1 you leave the "rear" speaker terminals empty even if you have the side surrounds placed on the rear walls.
