I tried asking this question before and didn't get an answer so I'll try again. If you have a movie that's encoded with PCM 4/3/.01 (7.1) and you're watching it on a reciever that only accepts 2/3/.01 (5.1) PCM signals, do you lose the sound that is in the other 2 channels? Or does it get matrixed back into the side speakers and then if you want you can enable 6.1 EX or 7.1 Pro-LogicIIx to get it semi back to normal?
