I just read on a thread that the 990 does not have a 6.1 mode. I have a 6.1 setup currently. Is their not a way to set up the 990 for 6.1? Will I have to rewire my room to accomodate the 990?

i think you would use the 7.1 and just hook up 6 speakers instead of 7.1 i'm not sure if you can rename the 7.1 or not.

6.1 is what DTS ES? or DD EX? I'm sure the 990 can decode that.

From reading the manual it looks like you only have two set up options, 5.1 or 7.1. I don't know ir the 990 could accomodate for only one rear channel instead of two. any user feedback would be helpful.

AFAIK there are no true 7.1 sources so you should be able to just use the 7.1 settings since the two rears get the same signal.

The original concept behind 6.1 was a single rear center channel, but it then morphed into 2 rear channels for 7.1.
