My Yamaha HT reciever has a neat little surround function- its called 'NO EFFECT'! I find that there is ALWAYS a trade-off when a soundtrack is 'downmixed' to stereo (phasing and image placement suffer the worst).
You can select the DD track on a DVD, then hit the surround button, and voila- stereo sound! Most gear has a similar function (besides, sounds great on headphones at night as well!). You won't be getting the 'director's intended' sound, but thats another very hot topic these days.
Hope this helps,
