Thanks for the information, rbinck. I am in the process of setting up surround (or maybe non-surround in my case) for my Pan. 50LC14. I have an old Sony Pro Logic STR DE-405, and yep, the manual says the rear speakers are mono.
The room I'm putting it in has no way to connect the rear channel (cath. ceiling, fireplace on one side and open space on the other) unless I want to go wireless - hardly seems worthwhile for a mono rear. I might not even use a center channel as the receiver has a "phantom" center channel which seemed to sound pretty good when tested. I am using Bose 301 series II speakers and they didn't seem very compatible with a couple of center channel speakers I tried.
I actually like the sound from the TV (don't laugh!), except for the lack of deep bass. I'm not sure whether it's worth it for the hassle of yet another component and remote. I also need to connect it so that It will default to tv sound. I am using a Pace dc550p HD box. Anyone have any comments or suggestions - other than buying a new 5.1 system?
Cheers!
