Analog 2-channel is a downmix

Brian,

The analog 2-channel output from your DVD player is already a digital 5.1 to analog 2-channel downmix handled by the DVD player itself.

You probably won't be able to improve on the dialog issue until you get a DD/DTS processor and a center channel. Sorry to break the news, that's just the way it is.

If your speakers can't handle the dialog in the current 2-channel DVD player situation, it's not likely they will do any better with a DD/DTS processor and a "phantom" center option (no center speaker).

You can certainly try the "phantom" center option though, as there are many low cost receivers you could use as a prepro (not use the receivers amps, but use it as a preamp). My guess is you will need a center channel with the current L&R speakers you have now.
