Hi @NeonBible,
Chewtobacca's post is hidden in another thread so it's not easy to find but this is it:
Yeah, the question is how multi-track mixes were matrixed for LD (and whether the process varied from disc to disc). Given that DPL2 was introduced in 2000, my preference has always been to use DPL1 (mono surround, like the old four-track mixes) because the results have always struck me as being the best match for matrixed tracks on LD.
Use BeHappy instead if you like. Uncomment ConvertAudioTo16bit() if you want, but you might prefer to adjust the volume (or EQ or whatever) first.
I don't know whether other downmixing methods (e.g. DPL2) will affect playback via your AVR. Maybe experiment and report back.
