So yesterday I bought an Onkyo TX-SR875 receiver. Nice unit, built like a tank, but I have a massive problem. There's no sound. Naturally, I went into the configuration menu to set up my speakers, but there's an even bigger problem. Option 2, Speaker Setup, is grayed out and I can't select it. The instruction manual states that you can't get sound until you configure your speakers, but the receiver will not let me configure the speakers. I thought that maybe since I only have 2 speakers connected (front left and front right, the most important channels) that it might be causing issues, but I find it very hard to believe that the receiver would not let me set up the speakers because I only have 2 channels connected. There's nothing wrong with my speaker cables, either. I honestly don't know what to do at this point. The instruction manual doesn't make any provisions for a situation like I'm dealing with. It just assumes you'll be able to select Speaker Setup without any issues, but as I stated, I can't select this option, and thus will not be able to get sound out of the receiver until I can.
I've never had an A/V receiver before. Can it be that I'm just missing something obvious here due to my lack of experience with this kind of stuff or should I just take it back and get a refund? Like I said, I really don't know what to do at this point. Any suggestions?
