    Denon 5800 Auto detection of EX or ES 6.1

    I have been using the manual mode. I typically watch a movie in its original format. However I did watch about a half hour of Air Force One in the widescreen surround and was quite impressed. Now I need a few weeks off from work to re-watch others.
