Default Making a mono-from-stereo cable

I had a similar problem connecting a DVD player to a stereo amp,
trying to mix the centre channel into L and R as it doesn't have
an option to output plain stereo from a 5.1 source.
Two 10k and a couple of 20k resistors did the job.


That's odd. I've never met a DVD player that would not provide a 2-channel
mix-down from a 5.1 source if set up to do so. Indeed many low-cost DVD
players only have 2 audio output sockets, so 2-channel mixed-down audio is
the only option unless you connect the digital output to an external DD/DTS
decoder.

Or was it that you wanted discrete surround channels and it was only the
centre speaker that you didn't have?
