Anyone know specifics on the "Rear Entertainment System"?

I've ordered the Pilot EX-RES (rear entertainment system). The specs say it has 7 speakers including Subwoofer. So I'm guessing that's 6 regular speakers and one subwoofer. That would lead me to believe there is no "center" channel. But then again, I'll be surprised if the system even decodes Dolby Digital (or even Dolby Surround Sound). However, the brochure shows the in-dash DVD player with a Dolby Digital symbol on it. At least that's what it looks like from the angle they shot the picture. I hope their not saying...."sure, the player supports Dolby Digital.....but the amplifier doesn't". That would be pretty lame. I do realize the RES is more marketed for DVD for the rear passengers, and separate music for the driver and front passenger. Anyways....no matter what the combination I'll be shocked if they put in decent speakers. I turned up the volume on an Odyssey and the rattle/hum was pretty bad. While it would be very difficult to replace much of the RES system, I would think that replacing the speakers would be a good idea...assuming they haven't made them practically impossible to get at.
