    Natural mode, is it 5.1 or 7.1?

    I was wondering after the latest updat if natural is all 7 speakers or still fronts and centres only in a 7.1 system, I thought it was front, centre and rear?

    Should be a 5.1 output. The only 7.1 output you're going to get is either DPLIIx or pure direct with a 7.1 analog source.

        FWIW, here's the quote out of page 13 of the C1 manual:

        Music Modes: Spatial effects, available only with two-channel signals. Natural generates 5.1-channel surround from stereo signals without adding reverberation. Club and Concert extract ambient information from the signal and add reverberation, to make the music sound as if performed in aall to medium or large space, respectively. The amount of reverberation can be adjusted through Audio Setup (page 24). Party feeds duplicated front-channel stereo signals to the surround (but not surround back) speakers; this spreads the sound more uniformly throughout the room.

          by Chris CRt
          I found this on the Anthem forum for their D1 unit, and it appears they just got the DPLIIx upgrade (sigh). It's in "beta" format, but here's the list of what they get in the upgrade:

          Is this Samsung a good "budget" model?
          by bigburner
          I'm looking for a budget plasma monitor that will be integrated with my hi-fi system and used mainly for watching music DVD's (4:3 and 16:9). I'll also connect my satellite TV tuner to watch sport (4:3) occasionally. Are there any obvious shortcomings with this monitor based on the specs below? Can...

          Problems with MXEditor Live Update after DPLIIx software update
          by Chris D
          Weird. I downloaded the DPLIIx update to two different computers I own, including the new MXEditor software version. Got through the update okay, following the instructions for both Halo Control and MXEditor. So far so good. I ran the MXEditor program Live Update, which downloaded a rather large...

          RSP 1098 and progressive scan dvd/dvd audio players
          by Henk
          The RSP 1098 TFT screen displays no video unless a usable signal is passed through the composite video connection. However, as pointed out in the RSP 1098 manual not all dvd players, set in progressive mode, output a usable composite video signal. This is true also for dvd players that play dvd audio....

          RSX 1056 Stereo Mode
          by Fred7
          I just upgraded from a RSP-1066 and a RSX-1055 to a pair of brand new RSX-1056 receivers, one for my living room and one for my bedroom. One of the main reasons that I upgraded was to get true analog bypass for two channel and multi channel inputs. I was also looking forward to using the two channel...
