Marantz SR4002 7.1 Help

I naively thought that as long as you had a bluray player, seven speakers and a 7.1 amp, you would automatically get 7.1 sound. Just watched Batman Begins and get nothing from the back channel (yes, speakers are connected and balanced).

Does the disc have to be 7.1 encoded? Does the SR4002 convert 5.1 to 7.1? Would someone give me a brief explanation of 7.1?

Thanks for the help!
