jaybird, you are right in this point, that they have fixed stickers of 5.1., although the sound mix is 4.0 (or any 4.1?). To the point .1 my further comment: When you have (and now many have through the video-surround) satelites with a subwoofer, you can listen also the bass sound without the .1
By a 4.0 mixdown you can make a bass management in the player or the surround-receiver. When switched to "loudspeaker small", you have a bass in the connection to the subwoofer.
