Re: Downmix via Receiver


I want receiver to downmix the 5.1 to 2 channel. Sorry new to home
theater things, but I also do not know if it is a receivers job
anyway to downmix it to 2 channel.

It is.

I have read the manual and there are options to set only 2
speakers but when done they (L&R) do not contain Surround and center
channel mixed up.

It should work. If you configure the speaker setup the right way (center:
none, surround: none) it will do the job. I have had some weird experiences
when using DSP's other than the normal DD 5.1 (center channel not sent to
L/R), but in DD 5.1 mode, it works fine.

Check if your DVD player can downmix to stereo instead of LtRt (my cheap
Sony player does) and use an analogue connection.
