We watched the 3:10 DVD last night. At first, couldn't get the sound right thru Oppo as the 861 saw 2 channel input and played the Trifield preset. Couldn't hear dialog or effects thru Trifield...finally got the 861 to recognize multi channel after turning entire system off.
The surround is amazing...there's a lot of info in the center and suurrounds. Great experience, but I wonder why the 861 sometimes doesn't recognize the input stream. Has happened a few times, seems just after I've played a CD on the Oppo, then switched to multichannel DVD. Puzzling to be sure. But agree the 3:10 is a great sound experience.
