I have the flag detection switched off on mine, but even with it switched on I am pretty sure it wouldn't make any difference to the amp displaying/playing 6.1 all the time. The reason for this is, he has most probably got a single/pair of surround back speakers selected, therefore 6.1 will be displayed on D/D 5.1 soundtracks. All he has to do is press the 6.1/7.1 button on the remote and this will switch off the surround backs and 5.1 will then be displayed.Originally posted by Tal
The reason why your amp says 6.1 is because in your set up menu you have yuor flag for Dolby Digital turned on or off, I can't remember which way it is now, but that is the reason why it always shows 6.1 on all your movies. If you swith the flag to the opposite of how it is set now will output all your films in 5.1, but will not pick up any films that do actually have a 6.1 soundtrack.
