There are a couple HD-DVD's with 6.1, but the first to have 7.1 will be Pan's Labyrinth which will be released in a couple months.

I've been playing with my HD-A35 and Denon AVR-3808 and have found that by letting the superior audio decoders in the receiver do the work, the sound is WAAAAY better. Think about it... $499.00 HD-DVD player vs $1599.00 receiver. What one would you think would do a better job decoding HD audio? But that's just my experience.
