Ok, new here, and I promise that I tried to dig around as best I could before asking but could not find exact enough info...
My wife saw me sorting through the fistfulls of cabling behind the AVR recently and asked why there was so much, and I explained that an HDMI capable tuner would fix 90% of that; amazingly she saw the light and is allowing me to upgrade!
I'm currently looking at upgrading from my old Denon AVR-3803 to a AVR-X4000, but in looking at the rear pic of the unit I am not sure that it will properly support my current 6.1 speaker configuration as it breaks out the rear channels to left and right?

When I look at the Denon site it talks all about DTS 6.1 compatibility, but this likely has little to do with physical speaker configuration... Is there a mode in the setup if I have a 6.1 speaker setup that will tell me to just plug into the left or right and just downmix the two channels down, or am I going to be forced to brave the wife and explain that I need to also add in a new speaker and change current placement of the rears for the new unit (I'd rather not do that just yet)...
Anyone with practical knowledge on this?
Thanks Much!
