Only Front speakers work when playing DVD

[wallymn]

I have a Guns n Roses DVD (don't judge me). which will ONLY drive the front speakers.

If I change the balance to rear I have no sound.

I have tried disabling/enabling surround sound.

Any ideas why this DVD (recorded in 5.1) will NOT play correctly?

I tried the same DVD in my home system and it correctly plays it as a 5.1 source.

What setting are you using on the DVD? Presumably DTS or Dolby, but have you tried switching to the other one to see what happens?
