How Do I Get More Sound To My Two Back Speakers?

I am having trouble getting more sound to my back 2 speakers. I understand that the majority of the sound is supposed to come from the front, but I like to hear the back more. Is there a setting where I can change the amount of sound to each speaker? I know with some surround sound systems you can, but I can't figure this one out.

I Know the Answer!

There are two ways I have increased the back sound with my Denon HAV 1312.

1. Using the Multi Channel Surround option. This distributes the sound among your 5 speakers, then you can us the DB adjustment between -12 and +12 to adjust to your liking. Not true 5.1 but gets the sound you want.

2. On Dobly Digital, I have same problem, where rear only shows up with stray bullets, or arrows flying and other sound effects. I make sure my subwoofer is set to multi if I want to generate more rear volume. I also adjust the Db equal to my Center speaker to get more volume. Remember the rear speakers are not set as primaries, your front and center are. A typical Pro or DD setting might be:

Subwoofer 3 to 5 Db (Precision 10")

Fronts 5.0 Db to 7.5 (Bose)

Center 7.5 to 10 Db (Klipsch)

Rears 7.5 to 10 Db (Pioneer)

I like to use the opening battle scene from Gladiator to set my system, then adjust accordingly. I find TV shows horrible for low Db [except the ads of course] and need adjusting to suit.
