You know, my post, ie: this post, has though me a few things: the more information you provide, the better the chance of an accurate response even if it was supposed to be an easy question to answer. Obviously in this case, I did not provide enough information. Also, it though me another thing, that I was to lazy to surf to the Marantz web site and download the SR8500 manual in PDF format and look at the section where it talks about setting up a 6.1 system.
So, now that I have the answer, I will non the less put in the information that I should have put in the first place, at the very least it will serve as a point of reference to my original question. Lesson learned.
