I plan to use the digital outs to a receiver for the center and rear channels, but want to use the L/R analog outs to an intergrated amp which is more musical. Is this feasible? Or does the L/R analog outs of a DVD player when playing DVDs already contain "processed" information downmixed from 5.1? Or is will I still get the pure L/R signal when playing 5.1 material at 5.1 mode? My DVD player is a Pioneer with no built in decoder.Jovi
Follow Ups:
I think it will work, but... the L/R will include the center info, not that important, just have to lower the center a bit, the biggest problem will be increasing and lowering the volume, you will have to syncronize the integrated and the receiver...I would use the integrated to power the front channels output from the receiver for 5.1, and for stereo from the analog outputs of the DVD...
Confused ????
See section 3.6.3 (paragraph 4) to answer your question.
So the way he plans to use it the main channels will not be properly processed..."The built-in 2-channel decoder turns Dolby Digital into standard analog stereo audio, which can be fed to almost any type of audio equipment (receiver, TV, boombox, etc.) using a pair of stereo audio cables."
It will basically be an dolby pro-logic signal that gets sent via the analog audio cables and this is not properly processed 5.1. It can be done but it will not provide the a true DD/DTS processed signal.
Not exactly accurate "decoding", but I know some who prefer this setup. Not me, but it's his system.
The signal going out will be a 2 channel non processed signal. Since your DVD player does not have a decoder it will be a 2 channel stereo/pro-logic signal.You will only be able to achieve true 5.1 "Processed" data after the DD/DTS 5.1 decoder.

on the DVD player. Some provide a true 2 channel out this way (for CD's), some provide a sum (at least virtually all include the sub). Check the manufacturers specs).

CD reproduction was the rational not the technical cause. Few change what the do when they detect PCM.
The reason that there are L/R outputs on DVD players has to do with the DVD medium and nothing to do with PCM or CDs (it's just a coincidence). That stereo pair offered to you is so that the downmixed Dolby Digital track can be sent to your stereo receiver or your surround receiver (which will do Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro-Logic Surround/Uncle Ben's Surround processing on that analog feed). This feature offers a bridge to those that will not/have yet to really get into Home Theater. It was done simply for backwards compatibility.In other words, DVD players play CDs as a "bonus". They were made to play CDs (marketing 101, trust me) so that they would be more acceptable and insure adoptability by the masses -- it worked.
Roy (scratching himself): "Lookie here, Thelma. It plays them there DeeVeeDees and CeeDees."
Thelma (also scratching herself, but with both hands): "You're right, Roy. Sally's brother... oops! um... uh... husband said he wuz gonna buy one too cuz he coud lissen to da Soggy Bottom Boiiiiz on da stereo, then watch Jenna Jameson on the 13".
