Hi Brian, thank you for the reply.
My question was I guess not whether or not the AVM-20 would do 6.1 from 5.1, but rather how well does it do it? ;)
It is my understanding that pre/pro/receivers all function slightly different with their implementation of even basic 5.1; so I'm assuming...
".... What does the Anthem (and other newer pre/pros/receivers) do to support a "std" DD/DTS disc in a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker set up? ...."
This is the question I keep asking..

"...Of course, this is America and it is Anthems duty to try and make as much money as possible off of their customers. ..."
I thought they were Canadians !?! ;)

Since about 99% of the DVDs out there are NOT 6.1 encoded, my big question is:
"How do these new pre/pros handle 5.1 material and make it sound good when using all 7.1 speakers???"
I'm wondering how the AVM-20 handles converting 5.1 signals to quasi 6.1 sound.

".....A DB-9 RS-232 serial port gets the AVM-20 talking to home environment systems, and although it seems banal, antenna terminals are there for the built-in radio...."
