Answer 1

Do you have a 6.1 source?

Dolby Digital EX™, THX Surround EX™ & DTS Extended Surround™ (DTS-ES™)

The above are 6.1 formats. If it's not coded with any of the above formats, you wont get 6.1. If you're playing a dvd or whatever that was recorded with regular Dolby Digital or DTS, they are 5.1 and your receiver knows it.
