just curious why i saw this after doing a reset to defaults on my 1068

after the reset i noticed this while going through my HD channels

after i set up the OSD it was gone

I'm not sure what the i was for, but the XS is for "extra speaker". If you have a 6.1 or 7.1 system set up and are listening to DD or dts, the XS tells you it's sending info to the surround back channels.

One thing came to mind as I was typing, it may have been a left over character from DPLIIx (temporary software glitch). Other than that, I'm not sure.

ok that makes sense cause after i went through the osd and set everthing i would have told it that i didnt have the extra surround speakers

Before PLIIx with it's 7.1 channel support the only official 6.1+ mode was DD-EX or DTS-ES. Rotel added their XS mode for full time 6.1+. It essentially sums the rears and spits them out the center rear(s). I don't believe it removed any information from the rears however.

It's the default mode when you have center rears and haven't selected PLIIx for the surround mode. You are correct that setting up your speakers correctly removed the option for it.
