i'm new to the outlaw family with a newly arrived 990. i've got B&W 805 for the front, B&W HTM2 for center, and three B&W SCM1's for the rear. I want to go to 7 channels but it may take a while to find another rear speaker as they sell in pairs (usually). anyway - what's the best way to set up with six speakers. i'm sure that i should have two to the sides and one to the rear, but i'm not sure how to connect the rear speaker. thanks!

In a 7.1 setup the two rear speakers are mono, so both left and right rear outputs are delivering the same signal to the speakers. Either one should provide an acceptible signal for 6.1.

While this is true for DVDs encoded with Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic IIx (which the 990 has) uses true stereo for the rear speakers. PLIIx can be applied to both stereo and 5.1/6.1 sources.
