I've got a "Dolby Surround" CD, but I can't seem to get the surround to pop.
My receiver just seems to default to PLIIx - like I'm playing a regular CD - and the result is underwhelming, to say the least: there's barely anything coming out of the side speakers.
I have a Sony UBP-X800M2 (player) and an Onkyo TX-NR609 (receiver); I'm guessing these are too new.
I also have a Pioneer DV-575A (player) but it's not compatible with my Onkyo, because my Onkyo has HMDMI inputs instead of 5.1 RCA sockets.
How far back do I need to be looking, hardware wise, to play a Dolby Surround (1982) CD?
P.S. I ran a search for this topic but the information was spotty at best; I couldn't find a discussion on it.
