Sony 755 SACD hook up (1 Viewer)

[ScottCHI]

I hooked up the 5.1 connections and no sound. Since I had an extra set of connectors I connected the 2 channel out puts to the receiver and "Music"!!!

then, did you select/assign your receiver/pre/pro's external or multichannel inputs?

Most Multi Channel Hi-Rez players require that you first enable the 5.1 analog outs (at least my Pio and Denon do).

So, Job 1 would be a peak in the menus of the player. Thats also where you will find the Bass Management stuff (normally refered to as speaker size).

Then, as Scott said, you need to make sure that the AVR is selecting the 5.1 input. My guess is the player needs to have the 5.1 outs turned on.

And yes, Boston is a 2CH title, but if you are able to enable the 5.1 outputs, you will get the same content from the L/R stereo pair and the L/R pair of the 5.1 set.

Here is a link to a Hi-Rez set-up guide put together be several members over a year ago. It could use an update, but it is fundamentally correct, AFAIK.

A comment on SACD quality....I have Norah Jones 2 ch cd and the new sacd.....WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!

Which mix were you listening to, Alex? it's well documented that Blue Note did with the Norah SACD 2-channel mix.

Thanks everyone. I needed to turn on the 5.1 inputs at the receiver (set to external decoder). Seems to be working now.

Now I need a 5.1 SACD.
