I don't know

It never says anywhere that the L-R surrounds are the same as the stereo (these are labelled as "mixed audio"). I don't know how all of this works. I played a Japanese animation video (Metropolis) last night. It had audio setup, but it all looked like surround options- Japanese Dolby, Japanese DTS, etc. Does this mean that the 6 m/c audio outputs all had information on them (even though unconnected) while the "mixed audio" I heard was some sort of fold-down? Is there typically a choice of stereo sound on a DVD and then you get the same stereo on surround L-R outputs? Or do many DVDs simply have surround sound only as this one SEEMS to have (not 100% sure).
