In a 5.1 speaker setup with a 7.1 AVR, how should I wire the speakers. I have front left, right and center. There will be two rear speakers that will be above and directly behind the viewing area. Should I connect these speakers to the surround L and R connection on the AVR or the surround back L and R?
Connect them to the main Surround L and R. Then set the receiver so that the surround back channels are turned off and all of the surround information will be channeled into the 2 speakers.
In fact, some/most AVRs won't let you activate the Back Surrounds if you have not already activated the front surrounds.
