Regarding the XD10, the standard unit can playback in 5.1, 6-track, 8-track, and up to 10-track. In the near future, another 10-channels can be added as an option upgrade.
During playback, the XD10 unit looks at the files downloaded onto the harddrive. The file identifies if the audio is a 5.1 mix, 8-track mix, etc. If your cinema processor is capable of only 6-channels (or 5.1) the XD10 will automatically "downmix" the 8-track mix to 5.1. The standard 8-track mix will be laid out as right, right-center, center, left-center, left, left surround, right surround, and sub. There are two channels remaining that can be used for "voice of god" (over head), back surround, or whatever the film maker decides. Any "special mix" discs will be labeled as to channel assignment. All previously released DTS movie discs can be played through the XD10.
