Yes and if you read the menu you'll figure out why. It is because it isn't Surround Sound but DTS, which is another system that takes a separate decoder. Took me a bit to figure that one out as well .

You don't need some special substance like Goo Be Gone, actually. Common adhesive release chemical (which can be bought through several brands, or fairly cheaply in bulk) and a cotton swab gets thick, sticky residue off just fine especially from smooth surfaces (like metal or glass), and it evaporates fast; alternatively, I THINK common rubbing alcohol does OK too, but I can't quite remember how often I've tried it. I know it works on the icky gum that eventually gets into track balls for computer mice, and tends to get sticky stuff cleaned off quite nicely from things like hands or plastic, so it would make sense. I work in a framing/restoration shop, and we never use Goo Be Gone for something as simple as residue from tape or a sticker, we just use the adhesive release (teh cotton swab is just there to rub the stuff around so it comes off, by the way).

If you Don't have any chemicals lying around, try a hair dryer first. 9/10 times it will pull the residue up when you pull the sticker off. It did for me. Heat for 90 seconds, pull half off, re-heat remaining half, pull all the way off.
And if there is still some left, then I can also vouch for the above method as well. But for me, on this sticker dryer worked.
