i have an Onkyo HT-R550 receiver that was purchased as an HTIB, and have it hooked up via digital optical cable from my dvd player. when i listen to movies in DTS or DD the sound only appears to come from the front speakers. what's a good equalizer setting to utilize the 7.1 speaker setup i have to really get good sound from the side and rear channels and not just louder from the front channels?

The equalizer settings are custom per room. They are used to "equalize" the frequency response of your room.
Not all movies fully utilize 5.1 surround, so this is the main reason you don't hear anything from the rear channels. This has nothing to do with the equalizer.
Your HTR should have a special test/setup menu where you play tones and you adjust the delay of the rear/side speakers vs the front, dpepending on your sitting position. If it does not, buy a test DVD, such as Video essentials and will guide you through the setup.
