You can't apply PLII to a mono track (not enough info to process) or a 5.1 track (nothing to process for a different and obvious reason) but you can to stereo and 4 channel soundtracks, and probably to a 3 channel soundtrack if such a thing exists. Some 2 channel soundtracks are actually "dual mono" and you can get PLII processing for those tracks since they do have 2 tracks, but it will process it into a mono track.
To get back to the original track/processing if you're running 5.1, just press the "Standard" button. It's a bit trickier in a 6.1 or 7.1 system if you have it set to apply PLIIx/NEO6 processing as a matter of course because you have to go into the Surround Parameter options to turn the rear surround channel/s off to get back to the original 5.1 or less soundtack.
The 2807 does have a wide range of processing options but not all of them are available for all input signals. Check out the tables on pages 30-31 of the manual to see what you can and can't do. If a particular option is not available, it simply won't be offered. The only options you can bring up at any time are just those that are available for the signal sort that you have.

My system is 5.1 so I should not see any of the 6.1 or 7.1 options. If I am viewing a Dolby Digital 5.1 program and the 2807 display window says DOLBY DIGITAL, what happens if press the Music button or the 5 Channel Stereo Button? It's still a bit confusing and I want to find out what to expect before it happens by accident. I assume I can always get back to Dolby Digital by pressing the Standard button based on what you said. This receiver has a ton of options and it's easy to get lost by pressing buttons and not be able to get back to where you were.
