No Sound FL & FR: Need Help Diagnosing

Hi y'all. I'm new here and just bought a pair of Polk Monitor 60 II towers, and a Polk CS1 Center, all powered by my Yamaha RX-V365 receiver. This will be a 3.1 (currently sans sub). I have an HTPC coming through as my sources.
Moved to a new house Saturday, wired up the speakers yesterday with 16 gauges, and fired up a movie via the PC, and only the center had audio. FL and FR had no signal. I ran the tone test using the receiver, but nothing. the V365 provides both banana plug-ins and push-in/spring-lock connectors for the fronts, and I tried them both, but still nothing; the center is connected via push-in. I know it doesn't matter which set of +/- posts I use on the towers, but I tried connecting to one or the other. I also ensured that the receiver was setup for 3-speaker output (previously it was running 5-speakers).
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I packed away the Yamaha manual and am still in the process of finding it.

Mess around with your surround settings and see if that works.
Your receiver might also have an A/B speaker selector switch....make sure the correct set is enabled.

Damned double post. Look down one post.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Do the above but if it was working before the settings should have been saved.
