Gotta question for you experts. I get a message on the MVP851 "NO MIX-DOWN" when listening to multichannel DVD-A.
I typically prefer 2 channel over multichannel music. Therefore when I put in a DVD-A, such as Diane Krall, I will choose the "stereo Playlist" as opposed to "Surround Playlist". I don't like the fact that I have to choose this on a video display. If I let it play with out messing with the menu, It will play "surround playlist". My Metallica "Metallica" does this too.
Now, I have the 851 player hooked to my MX119 with a pair of Tributaries XLR silver cables. The Manual of the 851 tells me that if a multichannel audio is playing and there are balanced cables, the 851 will provide a "mix-down" of the signal to 2 channels.
As mentioned above, I get the message "NO MIX-DOWN" everytime a track starts. Now obviously, I don't get this when I took the time to go through the video menu and select "stereo playlist". But I hate having to do this.
Does anyone know why I can't get a "Mix-Down" message. Is it something in my setup?
