By "stuck," do you mean that it only uses the left and right channels when any source is used (including Dolby 5.1 and DTS sources), or that you can only get the left and right channels when using the John Wayne movie? Assuming it's the latter and it's only with a mono source, the 1050 is behaving correctly: the surround processing is only going to give you the left and right channels because that's all that is there. You'd need to use one of the 1050's DSP modes (Natural, Jazz, ...) to get the surrounds in use.
