A:AnswerIt doesn't matter whether you connect it to the Surround Back R or L, you're missing a surround channel. Why would you omit a surround channel, when you can configure it as a 5.1 and have true surround? Provided that you do have at least 5 speakers and a sub-woofer? This receiver can be configured many ways when you do the speaker placement setup.
I hope this helps.
A:AnswerI have a STRDH790 and it started doing the same thing. I go through the entire setup process including using the microphone to calibrate. Works a couple of days then goes back to menu coming up each time.
I'm puzzled, I may try new HDMI cable.

A:AnswerHi Joe,
Thank you for the interest! We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an AV receiver

A:AnswerHi miguelplaza, Press DISPLAY repeatedly on the remote control or on the receiver. If Dolby Atmos content is being played back, “ATMOS” will appear on the display panel. ~Earl
