Hi,

Like Kenneth's, my H/K 525 does the same thing. Dolby Labs is fairly generous in allowing manufacturers who license Dolby decoding to implement it in various ways. It may be H/K's own default.

I agree that it's OK much of the time, although sometimes I prefer Dolby Digital in two channel, sans the DPLII.
