Therein lies your problem....

As the owner of a large collection of music DVDs, one thing they all have in common is minimal use of the surround speakers. For the most part they are used for ambience purposes only, e.g., crowd noise, some echo and occasional panning of a guitar riff, etc. When listening to music DVDs, I prefer to listen in 2 channel as well. To some extent minimal use of the surround channels is a well-thought artistic decision. Quite frankly, many of the multichannel mixing efforts I have heard have been rather lackluster (that doesn't mean good multichannel recordings aren't out there....it means they generally aren't available from the artists I prefer to listen to). I might be in the minority on this one, but I haven't been all that impressed with any DTS recordings either.
