A:Answer I can't guarantee this is the correct answer, but I have connected two rear Bose speakers and two front speakers along with one center channel speaker; depending on what tuner/amplifier you're using, especially if it is a new multi channel hardware, it may depend on how the original soundtrack was recorded for what you are streaming, I don't always get the surround sound and I have to experiment with the panel or remote buttons which gives me two or three combinations. I do get the surround sound very often on Prime, but it depends on which channel you are on. For instance, it works well on BritBox and Acorn, but not surround on most PBS Masterpiece selections. I hope you may have far better results.
