Hello all, I'm pretty new to the HT scene and have a couple questiosn I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I currently have a Denon 3803 and two front tower speakers. My questions regard the audio options on various DVDs, and the processing choices on the receiver.

On many DVDs there is the option of DTS 5.1 and Stereo. ALthough i am not taking advantage of the 5.1 mix, to my ears the DTS sounds cleaner with higher sound quality. Stereo mixes seems to sound more full, picking up bass that the DTS mix doesn't seem to have.

Can anyone explain to me what my receiver is doing to the sound when it knows I only have the 2 front speakers? Which mode should I be in to make things sound the best?

I am mainly interested in music and concert DVDs. This, along with a lack of $$, is why I've only got 2 speakers right now.

Thanks in advance for any help and education you can provide.
