I too installed a digital t stat but, I only connected four wires.
Red (12vdc+) to the RC with a jumper between RC and RH.
White to the W
Green to the G
Yellow to the Y
And it works fine.

You stated that you have connected two red wires. Do you know what the second red wire (from AC) is connected to at the AC end? According to the wiring diagram for the AC and furnace you would only need to connect the four wires.
Good luck
