For 5.1/6.1 setups the situation is simple, the 650R automatically performs any DTS Speaker Remapping required, mapping any of the 7 incoming possibilities to these 5.1 or 6.1 configurations. All you need to do is make sure you have correctly selected a 5.1 or 6.1 Decoding Mode in the Speaker Setup menu. No other adjustments are necessary.

For 7.1 there are two alternative speaker setup you might have. These corresponds to configuration 1 and configuration 5 as above.

Here you need to tell the 650R which configuration best matches your speaker setup by selecting the DTS-HD speaker menu and selecting the 1 or 5 option.

The 650R can then perform any speaker re-mapping required automatically, and maps any of the incoming 7 possibilties to whichever one of the two 7.1 possibilities you have.

Note: This feature by its nature only works for 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio or DTS HD High Resolution Audio bitstreams.

Also note that where the incoming speaker configuration and your physical speaker configuration actually match the 650R performs no mapping as you’d expect.
