Quadraphonic on a 7.1 surround system?

It seems like your AVR has upmixing set to automatic .

If there's a 'direct' mode, try that. Sometimes you have to dig deep into the owner's manuals too.

that's the thing, I am in direct mode, there's even a 'pure direct" mode that cuts off even more processing but even pure direct doesn't play back 4.0

the only way to play back 4.0 is to set my "speaker settings" to 4.0 speakers, even when I have 7.1 hooked up so that it "fools" the system into thinking I only have 4.0 speakers to work with but there's got to be a way other than "fooling" my system.

It's maddening
