   I didn't expect them to be reproduced in true surround, I just wanted   
   listen to them only from the front speakers.   
      
   I have two other complete (non-surround) stereo systems in my home so I   
   guess I'll just listen to my CDs and LPs on them.   
      
   Or maybe I can just use the "+" and "-" center and rear level controls   
   in the front of the surround-sound receiver, it would be helpful if   
   there was some kind of graphic indicator for those on the front but it's   
   just the four buttons. Then you're supposed to run some test with a   
   sequence of beeps coming from each of the four speakers to get the   
   optimum balance from the front and rear.   
      
   BTW this receiver I'm using isn't even a more modern "5.1" surround   
   type, it's an old "Dolby Surround Pro-Logic" from early in the century.   
   I have HDMI running from the Blu-ray player to the TV but for the TV's   
   audio out to the receiver I use the old RCA jacks (the only kind the   
   receiver will accept).
