Here's something interesting.

The HD621 HAS both an 8 channel MHR output and a SpeakerLink output. At present, the Meridian processors allow for a 6 MHR channel input. This being the case, you have the choice to select 8-channel downmix to 6 in the source product (eg BD player speaker menu) or to feed the audio 8channel to the HD621 and have it downmix channel 6 to MHR.

This would be great if in fact the HD621 could do the down mixing. Does anyone have a direct link to HQ and would be able to find out if the HD621 can down mix 7.1 to 5.1.

Sorry to Hijack your thread George but i think the answer to this would help both of us.
