Guy, if you're getting the 2-channel sound from the CDs, that means that the player is sending it out on the HDMI, so no change in the player setting is needed. Since the 772 is receiving 2-channel digital PCM(because you're hearing it), if you have the surround speakers shown on the setup menu , then it should only be necessary to select one of the surround modes which expand 2-channel material to surround. Although you said that you've tried the various modes, are you sure that you've set DPLII music, for example, and that the display hasn't shown that mode being in effect?
