There are two kinds of DVD customers.

Those who want to go with a full-blown 5.1 or DTS surround sound, and all the speakers, and those who just want to hook up their DVD players to their stereo TV sets or stereo receivers. My parents, for example, could care less about Digital Surround sound. BUT, they did want to buy a DVD player so they could realize better video quality, and improved menu functions and 'extra bonus features' that DVD offers. Plus, take into consideration all those PC's with DVD drives, all those portable 2 speaker DVD players, etc. etc., and you can see why DVD's played via 2 channels is a popular option. Truth be told, if a DVD has the 'setup' option of choosing Dolby Digital 2.0 (for 2 speakers), this is quite enough for many individuals. I, for one, play my DVD's through 2 massive Martin Logan speakers and a 2-channel amp, and when the DVD offers the 'Dolby 2.0' 2 channel selection option, I am in HEAVEN with the quality of sound I can obtain! And yes, it DOES fill my room! So, you see, not everyone is into surround sound and all those fugly speakers everywhere!!!

It's about time ALL the movie studios start including 'Dolby 2.0' as a choice in their 'audio setup' menu option!!!

Hasta la vista.
