For the longest time, I thought I had the same problem as you, but the problem was intermittent. Sometimes there was no rear information in PL, and sometimes it worked great.It took a while to discover the problem--signal strength. Everything works fine if my cable box volume is turned to maximum. But if someone turns the cable box volume down, I lose the rears.
Feed the strongest volume possible from your source to the 985.

Thanks for your responses, but I don't think the video volume is the problem. I'm using non-variable outputs from the TV monitor's tuner, DVD player, DirecTV Dolby Digital converter box and LD and VHS players. Just to be sure, I taped part of a football game that I was watching on Sunday in glorious DPL over the Fosgate and played the tape on both the Rotel and Fosgate units to make sure I wasn't the problem.
The damn thing is going back to Rotel this week. I bought it when it first came out and suspect that later units were subject to substantial design adjustments. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a $2000 processor to function properly.
Wish me luck!
