==============================================
Which is why he used the word "automatically".


Which is now why I use the word exactly...to me "detect" means leaving your
reciever in auto mode, not manually putting it into EX mode...Personally I
always use auto and select EX only when appropriate (mis-flagged disks)for
sound the way it was intended to be heard.

=======================================
Just curious.......HOW do you detect a mis-flagged disc?
(hint - you can't)
Are you also aware that most EX discs are not even noted on the box or the menu?

That is why I leave mine in 7.1 mode all the time.
