Sugarbrie,
I don't mean to contradict you sir, but I think your 2nd statement regarding "regular music CD's" is not completely correct.
Most (all that I know of) receivers (and pre-amp/processors) will play a regular CD through the digital outputs. You'd simply have your receiver/pre in 2-channel mode. The receiver/pre would be doing the same as in surround mode....simply receiving the digital signal from the DVD player and processing it according to how the receiver/pre was set....in this case for 2-channel/stereo.
Now I THINK I'm correct on this one (and I had a couple of beers with my friend earlier!) :-) so please kick it back to me if I'm wrong. Either way....we all learn something and that's the idea!
Happy Listening!
