Stereo SACD on a Multi SACD player?

I just bought a Sony DVP-NC555ES player and have a question. At this time I only have a two channel setup although my receiver has a multi-channel input. I have my player Multi output front left and right connected to the multi front left/right of the receiver. When playing a SACD 5.1 disk such as The Who's Tommy, is it possible to hear the SACD layer through 2 channels? I guess I don't fully understand all of the bells and whistles and I can't find any reference to this in the manual. My understanding is that Multi SACD will play on a 2 channel only SACD player, can this be made to happen on a Multi Channel player as well?

I'd like to ask a question.
When I put a SACD into my player it always lights up 5.1 and then I have to mess with the remote or players buttons to get it into 2ch.SACD.
I have only a 2ch.system.
Will the 5.1 automatic setting(stinks the way this happens) play back 2ch.SACD anyway or am I stuck fiddling with this dumb Sony?
