5.1 surround sound help needed


Can anyone tell me where I can get something like "An Idiot's Guide to Connecting Surround Sound Components"? I'm having a hell of a time. You can answer here or email me directly at [email protected].

Thanks.

This is really helpful, and I'm going to try a few things and get back to you. I'm currently using a Pioneer receiver and a Marantz DVD player that will play anything (except BlueRay of course). My main concern/issue, is getting surround sound from 5.1 audio discs. I think I've tried a few different configurations, and can never seem to get sound from the back. So 2 questions:
1: Do 5.1 audio discs necessarily have surround/back information, or could they be just front audio;
2: Would there ever be output options that I need to check and/or assign in the DVD player?

Thank very much for your help!

Dale.
