I think if you follow this, it'll be correct...

At least steps 3,4,5 and 6 under instructions.

If the "Configure Speakers" test works as explained, you are all set.

I haven't tinked with this on the Mac in a while, switched to a dedicated
box but I'm sure those were the instructions I used when I did, using VLC on
it.

Just make sure the AV receiver is in "straight" or "direct" mode so it doesn't
add in any effects.
