Default Question regarding codecs on Marantz NR-1501

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if somebody with expertise in codecs might help me understand how my speakers would handle specific source material. Right now I'm running a 5.1 setup, but I want to upgrade to 7.1. I use my setup for 70% videogames (can't wait for PS4, boycott XBOX ONE!) and 30% blus. Basically I'm wondering what to expect when I play 5.1 material given the supported codecs.

My receiver, Marantz NR1501, supports:
DTS: HD Master & High Res. Audio/ES/96/24/ Discrete & Matrix6.1/ Neo:6
Dolby: True HD/Digital Plus&EX/ Pro Logic IIx

So, what would happen with the back two channels when playing a 5.1 videogame or blu-ray if my system was a 7.1 setup? Would the same sounds come out of the back two channels given the matrix 6.1? I am basically hoping that my receiver will push sounds from the SL to BL and SR to BR. What should I expect?

Thanks guys!
