I just became a 1050 owner after deciding to try one in place of my Denon AVR 1800 because of the 6th channel. My question is this - With the Denon I could watch TV with 5 channel surround by switching to the TV mode and then 5 channel stereo, I can't seem to do the same with the 1050. The best I can get is the front three speakers to play the TV sounds. Am I missing something or is this unit not able to do this? Also, what is the Monitor input for? I think I made the right decision in getting this but I haven't used it enough yet to really make a determination. Thanks
