Hi guys,
I have a Onkyo 787 and recently got in a disagreement with someone about 6.1 and 7.1. I have read that 6.1 is mono matrixed like pro-logic was. So please if you can help me figure it out I would appreciate it.
Now having said that.. my onkyo receiver says it is 6.1 (7.1 ready?)but they recommend in the manually to use it with two rear speakers instead of one,with an external amp.
He has some harman kardon receiver, I don't know the model of the top of my head.It has something called logic 7?
Here are the questions:
1. Is 6.1 matrixed meaning it is mono like pro-logic?
2. Is 7.1 a stereo version of 6.1 or is it still mono but with 2 channels like prologic was?
3. Is the harman kardon logic 7 thing- stereo to all channels(except the sub)?
4. If so are they the only company making 7.1 "all stereo"
5. If I use an external amp for my rears on my system would I be getting stereo?
Now...The most important question of all:
6. If all this is true about the logic 7 thing... How is it possible to get stereo sound to the rear speakers if the actual source(DVD) is only dolby digital EX mono to the rears?
BTW- I have read some stuff on harman kardan's site but don't get it that's why I made this post. So either I am wrong (confused) or he is misunderstanding his receiver capabilities.
Again please help me figure this out. I would really apreciate it.
Thanks in advance
