It's definitely 7.1...I'm not sure why, but some place on the net have it listed as being 6.1...strange.
Anyway, I checked out the setup/manual last night and you guys are right- it's very simple. One thing I read up on that I was completely unaware of was the "SB CH Auto Flag Detect" (set it to OFF to enable digital processing of 5.1 sources-->6.1) and the Matrix/Non-Matrix/off options (matrix= digital matrix processing, non-matrix= same SL/SR signals are sent to SB speakers, Off= nothing is sent to SB speakers); good stuff to know about. Now, I just have to wait until the end of the month... wah.
