AV Receiver/Source Sound

[salparadise]

Hello. I am hoping to pick up some new speakers and get some use out of my Onkyo 608 receiver which has sat unloved in the loft for six months. The reason I ended up disconnecting my AV receiver was because I was listening to a lot more music and wished to cut down on the amount of equipment I had plugged in but naturally I now miss the big sound from movies.

That is enough rambling!

I was was wondering whether it is possible to set an AV receiver to only output the source sound, so if I play music via Apple TV it will output in stereo from only the left and right channel of a 5.1 speaker set up but if I watch a film again via Apple TV it will output in 5.1?

Hopefully someone can help, thanks and I apologise for the waffle!

Pure Audio should give excellent results
