I currently have the RM10 5.1 system. I went and bought the pioneer VSX-815 receiver that can take up to a 7.1 system. When I hooked up my speakers, I hooked the rare speakers into the suround back ports, but when I do the speaker calibration with the mic on my reciever it says that I need to check my surround back speakers. So then I decided to hook up my rare speakers into the surround ports where I assume that the middle speakers would go thats in between my front right and rare right speakers, and the same with the left side, in a 7.1 system. What way is the right way to set up the rare speakers on my reciever? I would think that my rare speakers should go into the surround back, but the calibration is saying other wise.

    yeah I do quick set up, and it asks me what my set up is and I selected 5.1 after that I do the calibration with the mic. When I do the calibration tests I can hear a faint sound when the reciever is suposed to be checking thoes mid speakers.

    if you are doing a 5.1 set up make sure you rear speakers are in the surround NOT surround back speaker posts
