If you bought the whole package that comes with a dvd player, sub woofer and speakers, you have a home theater in a box and it will only give true s/s on dvd's.
However, you can put the sound field on multi and get sound out of your rear speakers if you connect an audio cable from the tv output to the s/s input.
Buying a a/v receiver gives you an easier way for surround sound but it's better on movies and music.
