Unfortunately, and especially now with the recent purchase of the "Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan" box set, I have a good deal of DVDs in my collection that feature just mono soundtracks --- 2.0 mono tracks, to be more precise. When I play one of these through my 5.1 system, the Pro Logic II circuits engage and feed everything just to the center channel. I have experimented with this, by switching the DVD player to PCM so I could use the different DSPs on my receiver, but none of them are satisfying at all....the only way mono DVDs even sound decent is just playing through the center channel, to be honest.
Is this normal? Should 2.0 mono tracks be played just through the center? What do you guys run your mono discs in? Many have suggested that "2.0 MONO" means that my two main speakers should be getting the signal, and playing the mono tracks that way....but Pro Logic II sends everything to the center on 2.0 mono discs. Should mono just be played through the center and then call it a day?
