Audio ? re: downmixing 5.1/7.1 to 2.0

How can I assure the proper setup to ensure that the downmix from 5.1/7.1 goes to 2.0 but includes the .1 channel in the downmix and I was wondering if the downmix includes the +10db the LFE normally gets by a receiver.


A little backdrop

OK, so I currently am using a CEntrance DACmini via USB for basic PC stuff and coaxial for stereo listening.

I run the analog out of that DAC into a HK3490 stereo receiver. The receiver has dual subwoofer outs, however, they are just HPF - so there are no small/large settings to play with. I am planning on purchasing a Rythmik FV15HP subwoofer in the near future.

I want to use PDVD11 for watching blu-rays and I really need some help in thinking thru the best way to configure my PC audio to get a full 2.1 movie experience via the DACmini. I can go either USB or COAX, however, I need to make sure that which ever route I go, I will get the full LFE track from the movie. The speakers have their own crossover, so I am not concerned about sending LFE signal to them.

On the amp, can't you select the LFE to on and then the low frequencies will be sent to the subwooofer?

Not on the HK3490, that's not an issue, The sub has a internal crossover I can use, I just want to make sure that the .1 that is being downmixed from pdvd is getting left in the 2.0 mix and preferrably with the +10db on the .1 so I don't have to change volumes from music to a movie.
