Question about STR-DA2ES and 6.1 (1 Viewer)

[Shervin]

Hi everyone,

Most of you all can tell from my post count I am new. I have read up on this tuner from other posts but I have a more generic question about it. What is matrix 6.1? Is there a true 6.1 or is it all just the rear speakers blended together to produce a 6th channel. What type of 6.1 is this?

Also where is the best place to get this item with shipping factored in. I only find it as cheap as 499 and I know people get it cheaper than that. Also if you recomend places can it be a place that sony will recognize the ES warranty.

Thanks for all the help.

What is matrix 6.1?

This is covered in detail in the HTF Beginner's Primer and FAQ, as well as in numerous other threads (including this recent one).

I'm moving this to the Receivers section, so that people can address your questions about this specific Sony model.
