After having freeview hd for a while, you realise how many programs are only in stereo. So because of this I want to leave my receiver in prologic mode so it outputs the stereo signal as 5.1.

However, this is a problem when I play music from the media center as I want it to come out in stereo and not 5.1.

I know that if the pc sends a dts or dolby digital signal, it overrides the prologic on the receiver, so my Q is. Can I get media player/center to send it as a dolby digital signal but with only 2 channels?

Or should I stop complaing and not use prologic.
