Yeah Scott, I'm not familiar with the Emotiva stuff, but as Eric indicated, it would be surprising if they forgot or intentionally left out provision for using mono material more effectively. Mono stays mono, of course, and can't be changed into real stereo or surround material, but it should be playable as mono through all your speakers. Even if there isn't a specific "full mono" or "all-channel mono" setting, the regular stereo setting("all-channel stereo"?)to duplicate stereo in all speakers for a party situation or similar use should have that effect.
