on the DVD player. Some provide a true 2 channel out this way (for CD's), some provide a sum (at least virtually all include the sub). Check the manufacturers specs).

CD reproduction was the rational not the technical cause. Few change what the do when they detect PCM.
The reason that there are L/R outputs on DVD players has to do with the DVD medium and nothing to do with PCM or CDs (it's just a coincidence). That stereo pair offered to you is so that the downmixed Dolby Digital track can be sent to your stereo receiver or your surround receiver (which will do Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro-Logic Surround/Uncle Ben's Surround processing on that analog feed). This feature offers a bridge to those that will not/have yet to really get into Home Theater. It was done simply for backwards compatibility.In other words, DVD players play CDs as a "bonus". They were made to play CDs (marketing 101, trust me) so that they would be more acceptable and insure adoptability by the masses -- it worked.
Roy (scratching himself): "Lookie here, Thelma. It plays them there DeeVeeDees and CeeDees."
Thelma (also scratching herself, but with both hands): "You're right, Roy. Sally's brother... oops! um... uh... husband said he wuz gonna buy one too cuz he coud lissen to da Soggy Bottom Boiiiiz on da stereo, then watch Jenna Jameson on the 13".
