> But how do you hook up the rear center surround channel when you only have rear surround left and rear surround right?
I don't understand your question.
I can tell. Let me see if i can clarifly what he's asking about, since i'm curious myself (though I only use 5.1).
A 7.1 setup has 8 speakers total, each of which get a specific and unique sound to play (unlike old school "dolby surround" where the 2 back surround speakers outputted the exact same sound). So... if this HK receiver on the back only has "rear surround left" and "rear surround right", and he's forced to input his "back" speaker of his pseudo 6.1 setup in one of these two jacks, then its going to actually play only the left or the right rear channel sound (depending on which he plugged it into) which should differ slightly from the other channel. In a 6.1 mode, however, the rear speaker channels normally separated in a 7.1 setup would be combined.
So... does the receiver have a way you can "tell it" that you only have one rear speaker plugged in so that it can direct both the rear left and rear right sound to just that one channel? (aka 6.1 mode).
* Sorry, i dont know what terms they used to distinguish the side surrounds from the rear surrounds. I just use 5.1 so I only know rear right and rear left.
