You would think. What I have found (I may be worng) is that when the center channel is set to NONE - and you are listening to a stereo signal - and you want that stereo signal to be heard in the other speakers - you only get sound out of the fronts. If you pick up the channel changer and press the stereo button you will only have one choice STEREO. You will not see STEREO 5, STEREO 7, or the missing STEREO 4 remember (QUAD STEREO). I hear you may be able to get around this by going into different modes like NEO6 or PLII.
