I have noticed that in the audio setup menu, many DVD's give you the option of selecting 'Dolby 2.0', which is 2 channels. I would imagine that those with DVD players hooked up to a mono or stereo TV (using the TV's internal speakers), or a stereo amp/receiver and stereo speakers select this option. My question is this: what do you think the ratio of 2 channel listeners as opposed to full-blown Dolby 5.1 or 6.1 surround sound listeners is, for those that own DVD players? I would think that there are considerable numbers of those who just use 2 channels with their DVD player, and are just happier with the improved picture over VHS. All comments appreciated.
