The L/R (stereo) output from a DVD player will not include the LFE/.1 channel if you choose the 5.1 or 6.1 soundtrack. Of the 6 (or 7 in the case of DTS ES 6.1) channels, the LFE/.1 channel is left out of the down-mix to L/R (stereo). That's why the mix-down of a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will have less bass than a Dolby Surround 2.0 soundtrack (if one is included as an option).If you want to listen to the DVD material in stereo, always choose the Dolby Surround 2.0 option if it is available. Unfortunately, in your setup, that won't be an option if you want discrete C, LS and RS material. If I were you, I'd get a quality line level switcher.
