[QUOTE="kinosfronimos, post: 1116241, member: 14190"] Surround sound 'decoding' can only be done in the digital domain (e.g. Dolby Digital or DTS). That is to say, a movie, with digitally encoded 5.1 audio channels (which were put there when the movie was produced), is decoded by the AVR and the 'correct sounds are sent to the correct speakers'. This has to be done using a coaxial digital or optical or HDMI connection from source to AVR. Taking stereo sound (in your case analogue from RCA), and 'upmixing' to 5.1, is the AVR's best estimate as to which speakers certain sounds should go to. Here your only option is to select which upmix profile (like Neo 6 or PL II) sounds best to you. This is not decoding, so much as 'upmixing'. [/QUOTE]
