It was truly freaky to witness. It was as if Vger had turned my 1050 off. Continuing off topic; A couple years back we were watching "Dante's Peak" and when the volcano erupted a vacuum tube in one of my Acoustat Servo-Charge amps exploded!  Talk about realistic special effects - flashes of bright light, foul odors, etc. I half expected to see lava flowing from the vent holes!

Just wanted to update this. I finally got a speaker for the rear center channel (not quite what I wanted but close). Volia the probem with signal dropout and volume dropout for the surround channels went away. The viewing overall experience was very good. My oldest daughter couldn't believe the difference. She had thought the DVD was defective and asked if I had finally returned it and got one that worked. And this was before I did any calibration.
I can only assume that Outlaw is still "working" on this problem for 5.1 decoding.

Is minority report an EX disk? I had severe dropout problems with it and took it back to store thinking it was defective.

The DVDFile.com review lists it as having a Dolby EX soundtrack, a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack, and a DTS-ES (matrix) soundtrack. If the Dolby EX track has a flag problem, the DTS track should still work. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | 950 Review

Well, it looks like LOTR: The Two Towers has this exact problem as well . . .  Any word from Outlaw as to a permanent solution? For me, adding a 6th speaker is out of the question.

According to Scott, just turn the center surround speaker "on" in the speaker configuration menu first. It appears you don't need the speaker to actually be hooked up. I am looking forward to getting LOTR: The Two Towers and I hope this "fix" works. Please let me know what happens. I also cannot get a rear center speaker due to positioning problems and WAF issues...

Yes, I did this last night, and the audio dropouts were gone. However, doesn't this mean that all the surround information that's directed to the center surround speaker will be lost?
I watched a good bit of Helm's Deep this way (CS on, 6.1 engaged, but no physical speaker), and indeed my rear soundfield did seem a bit lacking, but I'm no audiophile.
Perhaps there's a way to compensate for this? Possibly cranking the volume of the L & R surrounds?
