Thanks for all the replies. I guess my question was vague. I was wondering if I used the stereo 2 channel analog ouput on my oppo player and add a center channel speaker fed from the same 2 channel analog stereo output would it be the same as if I used the 7.1 center channel output of the OPPO bdp-95 player to feed the center channel speaker? Put another way, do blu-ray dvds actually divide different parts of a movie sound track that require using 7.1 so everything can be heard?
Thanks,
Henry Rancourt
