Does your receiver offer a selection option for 7.1 at all? That would be a good place to start. If so, then follow, in the manual, how you would implement it. If not, then that should be a clue to the actual answer.

Here's the closest thing I could find on the current H/K site. Maybe this will help. You might want to explore this site for more info.
