As far as I can see, I've got the setup right on the menus, so I'm rather
puzzled. Would you expect a modern DVD player (even a cheap one) to send
out CD sound encoded in 2.1, rather than 2.0?

With two channel CDs, there is rarely any bass management in most DVD
players and you should be getting full-range output to the main L/R
speakers. It may have to do with your undescribed speakers.
