how to get 7.1 sound from a 5.1 movie...

[HeManster03]

at work we currently have an onkyo txsr606 reciever and panasonic dmpbd55k blu ray player. we get dolby trueHD and dts-master audio HD to show on the reciever and play just fine. we just today hooked up an extra 2 speakers to test out the 7.1 sound, and during A Nightmare Before Xmas(dolby truHD 7.1) we got sound out of all 7 channels and the sound was great. popped in Ironman( dolby truHd 5.1) and are only getting sound from the center,sub, front left/right and surround left/right..absolutely no sound from the surround back left/right. is there a certain setting in each unit that i have to use so that i get my dolby tru HD, or at least have all of my speakers working? any advice would be helpful. i am at work tonight until 9pm, and back at 9am tomorrow, so if i get an answer tonight, ill be very pleased, but tomorrow works also. thanks guys...your all awesome, and always give me great advice.

Select PIIx that will matrix 5.1 > 7.1

Set your player to internally decode and send the signal PCM to the receiver then the receiver will matrix the sound through all chanels.

bitstreaming will still allow you to be able to select PIIx.

If you matrix a movie from 5.1 to 7.1 is it still HD? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Like right now I have my 606 set to Multi-ch, but what if I set it to the matrix listening mode will it still be HD audio?


Never mind, found the answer....
