Echo between front and back speakers

I have jsut tried to do my first stereo to 5.1 render.....
I have done it leaving the stereo tracks together and also a version that
separates out each track. In both cases there is a delay or echo between the front and back speakers.....????
Is this due to where I put to little orange panner????
I dont need anything complicated. I just wanted to give a surround enthuseist (spelling), some surround so that it just did not all just come out of the center.
In fact I was thinking of just turning center off.

So how do I set it up so that right front and right rear are one channel and same on the left side with maybe a little less on the rear as far as volume and not get this echo delay.

Any help would be appreciated since we are tring to get this travel program out for replication this week.

Uhm... This was perhaps the most confusing post I've read, but here goes...

Pan the track full front, duplicate it and pan it full back. You will now get identical sound in front L / rear L and front R / rear R respectively. The delay is probably your soundcard setting, or a bad driver for it.

Thanks for the reply....
The echo is coming from the burned DVDR.
I do not have a 5.1 audio card. we are setting things up. Encoding with vegas 4.0b and burning in DVD A. Funny thing on our last test.... the audio in the menu audio is shows 5.1 digital on the receiver but when we got to the any of the chapters the audio turns to ProLogic. Must be something we are doing in Vegas when rendering the AC3 file.
