Gonk,
THanks for the reply. I was actually referring to a 7.1 source (there is such a thing, correct?) but I assume your explanation applies to the scenario as well.
Thanks again...BTW, I don't have any HT equipment but I did highly recommend to my brother that he look into Outlaw equipment and he ended up getting an Outlaw HT reciever. He absolutely loves it so far and had not heard of them till I mentioned it.
