7.1 versus 2 channel analog

If I watch a dvd or bluray movie only using the 2 channel analog stereo outputs of the bluray player connected to, the right and left channel inputs of, a pre-amp which is connected to a 2 channel amplifier, connected to 2 front speakers, will all the sound be heard? Or will anything be missing, like what is heard on a center channel speaker?
Thanks,
Henry Rancourt

Depends on the choice of soundtrack (stereo vs. mch) and the particular player.

You should be able to down mix the 5.1/7.1 ch to stereo thru your player as an option.

Most Blu-Ray players allow you to choose to mix-down the multi-channel mix to stereo in the set up menu.
