In Reply to: You can only have DD with stereo posted by John C. - Aussie on November 12, 2000 at 13:17:56:
I thought the designation "Dolby Digital" didn't necessarily mean 5.1 or higher sound, I believe there is such a thing as Dolby stereo, etc. I think it's only a way to say that the sound was compressed via the Dolby Digital standard be it 7.1 surround or mono. My guess is the use the DVD player's analog outs for sound and go in the menu (if necessary) and turn on the analog out as opposed to PCM RAW or the likes.
Follow Ups:
I checked the Dolby site at
http://www.dolby.com/tech/l.br.0007.FullDDFAQ.html#q2
and quote -"Dolby Digital soundtracks can provide anything from mono to full 5.1-channel surround sound. DVD- Video discs of movies can even carry multiple versions of the soundtrack that differ in the number of channels. A disc might contain a 5.1-channel sound mix with the dialogue in one language, a Dolby Surround-encoded two-channel mix in another language, and a mono track with the directors’ comments or other supplementary information. The default soundtrack will vary from disc to disc, so always check the DVD disc’s Language menu for the choices offered."
Which all confuses me somewhat.

I thought that I was confused! Now I know the reason.
