Is this correct??

I did some more digging, check page 62 in your manual, if you are seeing 5.1 ch stereo then it's because your system is set to "DSP simulation 7 channel stereo" and the reason you don't see 5.1 is because your 2 back channels are not setup. you don't want to use the "dsp simulation" your not getting true surround. look at page 61, you want to be using "standard" then your true multichannel will be displayed and used. it will say "multichannel in + PLIIx - cinema" until you get your surround back channels set up then it will say "multichannel in 7.1" acknowledging the surround 2 back channels.
