Spud1947 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have a RSB-14 sound bar and have two RW-1 speakers. I have configured to make it surround but the is no sound coming out of the two RW-1 speakers. The sound bar is connected to the TV with an optical cable to the digital port from the digital out. The sound bar works fine and the simulated surround worked before I bought the two RW-1 speakers but I wanted to have it real surround.

Spud1947 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I know I had a hard enough time setting up the sound bar, but I like the sound, much better than the TV speakers. I used to have a big 5.1 sound system but we moved and don't want to run wire under the floors anymore. Like the idea of wireless but it shouldn't be this had to set up. So do you have any advise for me to get the sound to the back speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So first of all how are the rw-1s wired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud1947 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 There are no wires, the rw-1s are set up in Klipsch stream as surround. It shows in "about" that they are set up as left surround and right surround. There is just one fiberopitic cord from the TV to the bar coming from digital audio to digital on the bar.

The History Kid Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I don't mean to sound like captain obvious - but I just want to be sure we've covered this: is the source multi-channel, or is it two-channel? Just because you're using a TOSLINK cable doesn't mean the source material is multi-channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud1947 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Well now not really sure. You would think it being a new high end Samsung 65 inch 4 K TV it would be but I'll go in the TV set up tomorrow and see if I can find out for sure. thanks.

Spud1947 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Well found out that it the provider is the problem. I phoned them and their cable box doesn't support surround. It is a new fiber optic wireless system from Telus and they are going to have it in the fu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud1947 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Sorry hit the send. Anyway they said they will have it in the near future. Seems dumb to set up a new system and not include the ability to have surround. Guess I'll take the two rw-1 speakers back. I do like the sound bar though.

The History Kid Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Glad that shot in the dark ended up being right. Yes, the gear isn't necessarily the problem, it's got to do with the source material, and if your cable provider isn't coughing it up, then it's a moot point. Glad you still enjoy the soundbar though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
