Why Will It Not Let Me Do An Sp Pattern When I Try To Setup My Speakers?

I originally tried to setup just two speakers.  I got to the SP Pattern and tried pressing the right arrow and got nothing.  It states NOT IN USE.  I added a second set of speakers (surround) and tried again.  Nothing.  I tried attaching my surround speakers to main speaker connection.  Nothing.  I can't select a pattern and can't get any sound out of my speakers.  I can get sound out of my TV but not my main or surround speakers.

If you have something plugged into the headphone jack, it will not only cut out the speakers but also prevent you from doing a speaker pattern setup.
