I have an AVR507 and love it, but I was hoping you could answer some questions about the speaker setup.
I have a 7.1 speaker configuration, with two surrounds and two back surrounds. What is the difference between speaker mode 6 and speaker mode 7?
The manual is a bit fuzzy to me on this...mode 6 evidently forces EX and ES, and the back surrounds run in mono...fine. But what is mode 7 doing? According to the diagram in the manual, it gets the back surrounds to work in some kind of stereo arrangement? How does it do this?
Also, is mode 7 actually playing EX soundtracks back in straight EX, or some kind 'enhanced' EX?
And for 5.1 material, is mode 7 giving you essentially TWO left surrounds and TWO right surrounds?
Both modes sound good, but which mode is neccessarily more 'right' (I'm thinking mode 6)?
Thanks for reading! I look forward to your thoughts and opinions
Cheers,
Dan
