Thanks. As usual, you are way beyond me in your knowledge of this stuff. But nevertheless, I will try to post an intelligent reply. My Denon receiver does have 6.1 Dolby, but I don't use the "6th" channel. The main reason is that I had my living room pre-wired for 5.1 when the home was being built in 2002. All I had ever heard of at the time was 5.1 so I asked the builder to put in wiring for left and right rear channels. During 2003 after I had moved in, I was looking for a decent surround sound system, and the Denon receiver I found on sale just happened to be a 6.1 Dolby receiver. So I bought it, and rather than trying to run a new line for the center rear channel, I just set that channel to "OFF" and I don't use it. Honestly, I don't think I miss it either, because the 5.1 is really awesome. And that's part of the reason why I agree wholeheartedly with you and not that tvine2000 poster, because I can't imagine that 6.1 or 7.1 or even 13.1 could be all that much better. I think he needs to break the Prozacs in half next time.....
