In Reply to: should audio connection go through TV? posted by tunenut on September 22, 2004 at 10:47:31:
Does it have separate stereo and multichannel outputs? If so, the front L/R are usually the same as the stereo outputs and you can use the former for your preamp and the latter to the TV. Or vice versa.
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).

Varies. Most DVDs have a stereo track although some will, indeed, "fold-down" on the fly. In general, most players will have the same signals on the stereo jacks as on the front L/R jack of the MCH set.I do not know your player, so I cannot be certain.
