7.1 ?'s

Am I nuts for putting in a 7.1 system? I have never had one before. Will it take a 5.1 DD soundtrack and put sound through the sides and rears? Or is it only used for 7.1 soundtrack and DTS_ES etc.? Excuse my ignorance on the subject.

No, you are not nuts. Yes, with Pro-Logic IIx the receiver can remix everything between 2.0 and 6.1 into 7.1. I love having four surrounds, I find it much more enveloping than two.

Ive not found it added anything, so i went back to 5.1, but this was in a small room, in a larger room, or a dedicated room, id run 7.1.

From my experience if you have the right layout 7.1 is nice. Like mentioned you can take most signals and apply PLIIx for a nice 7.1 setup. I also really enjoyed using 7 channel stereo for sporting events.
Take a look here and look at some of the layouts.

Also if you have any sketches of your room or pics we might be able to make some suggestions.
