Default If I just have a TV with speakers...

...I should select "English Dolby 2.0" in the audio setup of blu-ray movies instead of "English 5.1 DTS " right?

But isn't that for when you have multiple speakers?

Dolby 2.0 would probably be best if you had two speakers hooked up to an A/V receiver.

He doesn't have seperate speakers attached!

It doesn't matter one bit what you put it on. The TV speakers can't reproduce any of them properly. Don't sweat it....you won't hear a difference with any of them.

I've always been under the impression that with just TV speakers you might have better luck with being able to understand dialogue if you select the 2.0 track.

Your TV will not decode Dts.

You will have to down mix Dts > 2.0 PCM.

Yeah I was guessing with 2.0 dialogue would be clearer, since 5.1 DTS would be "louder".
