audio channels keep original vs down mix to stereo

keep original vs down mix to stereo

which is best for best sound, in which circumstances?

Im using a Panasonic plasma just using the built in speakers in the system PANASONIC_Viera_TX-P42UT50B.

I was going to watch a DTS 6 channel 720p video file. my hearing is not the best, too many nights out in very loud bars. what would you advise?

thanks

try it out, I guess. Downmix will just produce stereo from multichannel audio.
