your surround speakers. You can choose to listen to sources with
no surround back channel information, or if the material sounds
better in the format (for example, 5.1) for which it was originally
encoded, you can have the receiver only apply this effect to 6.1
encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES.
