Home Video Asylum

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

here's how to fix that

Tell your DVD player to output those Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtracks as PCM, instead of bitstream. That way, your receiver will see it as a stereo PCM signal and do whatever processing you want (ie, you can turn that 2-channel signal into a multichannel output).

Just remember to change the DVD player's output back to bitstream after the 2.0 movie so your 5.1/6.1 digital soundtracks get decoded correctly, instead of 2-channel PCM.
