Hi Ian,

Just clarifying, do you mean if the source device is not capable of down mixing...?

In which case then by definition the device must be outputting 7.1 as it can't down mix, so I agree the extra channels would just be ignored.

I believe all Bluray devices can downmix but I'm not sure about other HDMI sources.
