Default Downmix via Receiver

Hi,

I have a 2 speaker setup for my home theater (was on a tight budget on
speakers) setup with a Kenwood receiver
http://www.kenwoodaudio.com/australi...l=KRF-V4080D-S

I am feeding the audio from the DVD player using coaxial.

Current situation: DVD player downmixes the 5.1 movie soundtrack to lt/rt
and receiver amplifies it.

I want receiver to downmix the 5.1 to 2 channel. Sorry new to home theater
things, but I also do not know if it is a receivers job anyway to downmix it
to 2 channel. I have read the manual and there are options to set only 2
speakers but when done they (L&R) do not contain Surround and center channel
mixed up.

Anybody using this receiver can guide me if this is possible?

thanks a million in advance
