Sorry, I just realized this sounds confusing.. I can put the receiver into two modes, "Auto Format Decode" mode, where it decodes the incoming signal and sends it out to the various speakers, or "2 Channel" mode, where it simply multiplexes all channels onto the left and right speakers. In the "Auto Format Decode" mode, I only hear the left and right channels, (which can be an interesting way of listening to some scenes in a movie), but if I switch to "2 Channel" mode, then all 6 channels are piped through to the left/right speakers.
