Just wondering what actually happens when I play a 5.1 mix off a blu-ray disk considering I only have 2 front speakers. Obviously on my AVR I only have the front L+R selected as large and the remainder to off.
Does the sound from all channels condense into the 2 fronts?
Also, will there be any noticeable difference between say a regular DTS track and a DTS MA track with this set up? I ask because my current receiver doesn't have HDMI inputs, so I would have to upgrade my receiver to take advantage of the lossless formats.
Cheers guys,
Adam
Unless you have a six-channel input on your current AVR(which I assume you don`t), it would be best to go in to the BR player's menu and convert the sound to "downmix" to two channels otherwise you are not getting the signals directed to the appropriate two-channel configuration you are striving for and the proper direction of the signals would be getting somewhat lost in the process.
In terms of any perceivable difference between DTS and DTS MA in your current two-channel set-up, there would be little, if any.
