   That's odd. I've never met a DVD player that would not provide a 2-channel   
   mix-down from a 5.1 source if set up to do so. Indeed many low-cost DVD   
   players only have 2 audio output sockets, so 2-channel mixed-down audio is   
   the only option unless you connect the digital output to an external DD/DTS   
   decoder.   
      
   Or was it that you wanted discrete surround channels and it was only the   
   centre speaker that you didn't have?
