Through some manual reading and some experimentation I have gotten limited functionality out of the system. All the speakers are making noise now except when I use the DVD which only uses two of the speakers like stereo. It was enough to get me past the first bout of frustration and at least feel like I hadn't blown a wad of money for nothing. But now my patience has returned and with the most generous help of Ray's step by step, I will sit down one night this week or this weekend and try to get everything hooked up RIGHT. I can't tell you how helpful this is. I promise to report in with my progress!
