Jerry (and Josh),

: I understand how the software could matrix a center channel for the rear, but my question is where would the line level output be on the mc-1 that you would use for this- or would lexicon simply make a separate little adaptor box that would connect via the rs-232 port and have 3 outputs rear l,c,r?

OK, let's think about this for a moment. Logic 7 is a seven-channel system plus sub-woofer. We have two Front outputs, two Side outputs, two Rears, one for a Centre and one for a sub.

Dolby Digital is a six-channel system, also with a sub-woofer. It has Front outputs, a Centre, two Rears (correctly called Surround Left and Surround Right), Surround Centre and a sub-woofer. Six outputs. So, if the Lexicon routes the EX Surround Left and Surround information to the Side outputs (which is where it should be), that leaves both Rear outputs to carry the Surround Centre information. No need for an external box or anything like that, we just couple to two outputs together and either just hook up one (a step backward) or drive them both with a mono signal.

Buzz's replacement in part appears to be a fellow by the name of Wayne Morris. Bart and Andy also have new duties.

Stuart.
