A couple of notes here, going back to my brief earlier post. I started out with 6.1 enabled when I was setting up my 1050 with Video Essentials, and quickly realized that it screwed things up -- the 5.1 track on VE was dividing the info between the left or right surround and the surround back, and I think there was some reduction in level in the process. I had to disable 6.1 and then come back afterward and use the 1050's test tones to set the level of the surround back channel.
