Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

That hasn't been my experience.

I haven't notice a change in quantity of bass, as much as quality of bass when using DD5.1 mixed down to two channels Vs. 2 channel surround or a stereo output. What I have found, is the 5.1 mixed to 2 has *deeper* bass, more extended treble and much better center fill. While there is some variation between discs, I've done enough comparisons over the years that I stopped comparing.

>>>If you want to listen to the DVD material in stereo, always choose the Dolby Surround 2.0 option if it is available.<<<
No, thats bad advice. People need to compare different sound settings to see what works best for them, in their systems. In my case, 5.1->2 channels is VASTLY superior to the 2 channel soundtracks.
