All have their own individual amplified outs. I was trying to:
1) allow for the fact I do not have multi-directional speakers for the rear L&R's & since all the posts are mentioning rear SIDE L&R surrounds I was going to "Y" connect 2 extra's off the rear L&R feeds. I can't see putting the 2 I use at REAR L&R to the REAR sides. As they are not "Surrounds".

2) Mid L&R sides were an experiment idea only - please disregard for now
(It is hard for me to input & process data when I am missing the aural component. Some quirk I have - being essentially MID brained as opposed to right or left hemisphere dominant)
Anyway, I'll keep plugging at it as long as your gratious patience will permit.
Thanks Larry I appreciate your input.
Matt, thanks, your 6.1 & 7.1 comment helped to enable me to mentally "key" in what Larry was saying, then I was able to understand.

P.S. As an point of interest, re 6.1 as per
[Link: dolby.com] &
[Link: dolby.com]
Am I understanding that per the above links there
IS actually a 6.1 format on a FEW 3rd channel encoded
films extracted by the Dolby SA10 Surround Adapter.
However, the 6.1 dd-ex setting on my YAM is only a "matrixed" (faked) 6.1. Is this correct?
