Try listening to just 2 chan via a quality system, first use PCM then use Dolby from the tivo box, the sound from PCM is far superior in dynamic range.
The tivo gives 2 options: Dolby Digital and Dolby to PCM, when you select Dolby Digital you get a compressed 5.1 mix, when you select PCM you get the full uncompressed stereo (standard CD quality)

Why would you want the stereo output though if you have a 5.1 system?
