Both Dolby and DTS have six channel (6.1 that is) versions and these are identified as "ES" or "EX". Many receivers and pre/pros superimpose a matrixed sixth channal when fed a 5.1 signal. The difference between 6.1 and 7.1 is that in 6.1 there is a rear center channel whereas in 7.1 there are two extra channels on the rear sides. I have A/B'd a 5.1 signal with a 6.1 signal and there is a difference, the 6.1 sounding more ambient and "fuller".
