>> We recently tested a disc with a similar situation, "Fragile" by Yes. <<Charles, I think that what you have just said means that the Ayre C-5xe WILL automatically select the 2-ch program on discs where the 2-ch and 5.1 ch programs are co-located in Group 1. (This also works with the "Audio" button.) This is better logic than some other players which don't default to the 2-ch program (even if the player is setup as 2-ch).
b.t.w. I too have "Fragile" which always defaults to 5.1 (or 5.1 downmix) on my Denon A11 -- however I set-up the player -- whereas, on my cheap 2-ch Panasonic DVD-A boombox machine, it does -- like the C-5x, correctly default to the 2-ch MLP with this disc.
But that's a 'moot point' to me with the Denon, as I listen 99% of the time in 5.1 surround.
