Here's my question:
Say I have a 5.1 dd/dts receiver, but only L and R front speakers hooked up. I go through the receivier menu's and tell the receiver these are the only things connected.
When I play DVD's should I:
a) play the 2.0 soundtrack since it is specifically designed for this scenario
b) play the 5.1 soundtrack and let the receiver downmix the signal
I am hoping the answer is b because I would rather use the higher bitrate soundtrack. I guess my main ? is whether the receiver handles the downmixing properly so I don't lose any of the sound information?
Does my question even make sense?
Thanks
