First of all its not always possible to hear the surrounds. In actuality very little information is sent to them. So they could be working fine but the source just isn't giving them anything to do.

Or, your system could only activate them on certain inputs. Though the DVD should be one of them.

Or you're not feeding it a digital signal, which is a requirement for true surround sound. Your TV certainly won't be. Is there a "simulated surround" setting you can activate? If so, you can tell the system to use all the speakers regardless of the source.

What's the make and model number and I'll try to help more.
