I spoke with Scott today and he confirmed that we don't have any options here that the outlaws can suggest other than ignoring the lost data from the rear center channel. At frist he suggested that I play the disc in PCM mode. I wouldn't want to do this because pro-logic doesn't compare to DD but ironicly I went into the setup of the disc and you can't even select the audio track. The disc automatically forces the outlaw into Dolby EX 6.1 mode no matter what I do. So I have no choice but to ignore the data that is lost in the center channel.

I really appreciate the level of service that Outlaw provides. Scott returned my call as Steve promised. Unfortunately there seems to be nothing that the outlaws can do this time.

The Outlaws really have to add this to the FAQ. It seems many new discs are arriving with this problem and it will not go away on the forum if it is not added to the FAQ. I feel cheated enough having bought the 1050 less than a year ago and not feeling the need to replace it. I don't think it is fair to potential new customers to not make this problem clear. I realize that most companies would cover a problem like this up but I would not expect that from the Outlaws.

Finally, I am not able to find a difference if I place the device into 6.1 mode myself or if I let it force me into 6.1 mode. So I don't understand Jason's instructions to put the 1050 into 6.1 mode before starting the disc.
