In Reply to: What's the point of Dolby Digital... posted by Tadlo on January 13, 2007 at 10:28:46:
Tell your DVD player to output those Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtracks as PCM, instead of bitstream. That way, your receiver will see it as a stereo PCM signal and do whatever processing you want (ie, you can turn that 2-channel signal into a multichannel output).Just remember to change the DVD player's output back to bitstream after the 2.0 movie so your 5.1/6.1 digital soundtracks get decoded correctly, instead of 2-channel PCM.
