You are correct, but you must select PCM instead of bitstream for the DVD player output, then a standard 2-channel DAC will decode the signal on the digital cable.
In order to decode DD 2.0 you need to be in bitstream mode and then you need a standard 5.1 DD decoder in your processor or receiver to decode the DD bitstream signal coming from the DVD player.

Also means DVD needs PCM output - bstan 23:05:23 12/26/01 (0)
I failed to mention that in order to use PCM output on the DVD player, the DVD software being played needs to have a PCM option.
