The only movies I know of that are in 7.1, are a handful of Blu ray and HD DVD movies. To hear those, you'll need a receiver that can process the HD audio formats over HDMI.

I think the only way you'll get 7.1 from ANY other receiver, is using Dolby Pro Logic IIx. Regular dvds only go as high as 6.1, and most are only 5.1 DD or DTS.
