Hi Ted, According to the manual, the "variable" settings only affect the player's 6-channel analog outputs, regardless of whether you set them in "Initial Settings" or "Audio Settings." If that is true, then digital-out audio calibration must be done with your receiver's controls. (That's how...

Many thanks for the help! My friend (who currently lives in Osaka, but formerly lived in Tokyo) instantly recognized the place you described. Thanks again!

Hi all, I have a friend (really!), an American professor living in Japan, who needs a relatively inexpensive DVD player that will play DVDs bought in the US AND DVDs bought in Japan. I haven't encountered this problem myself yet, so I can't give him any advice. Can anyone out there help me...

I have a question for those of you who own an ICBM and have also experimented with tweaking the speaker & LFE volumes inside the 563A. How does SACD/DVD-A playback compare between (a) the 563A alone, appropriately tweaked, with no ICBM, and (b) the 563A with the ICBM? If "b" is better, is it...

I only have one MC SACD, DSOTM. I just popped it in (563 set to MC SACD, receiver set to external in) and there is certainly output from the sub. Again, I don't know what that demonstrates, since I'm not sure what sort of symptoms I'm looking for. My receiver is a Denon AV-1802. According to...

I just conducted a quick experiment with SACD bass management. Using a sound level meter, I compared the sub-only output under two conditions: (1) 563a set to multi-channel SACD, speakers small, sub on, speaker volume fixed, and external in to my Denon receiver; and (2) 563a set to read CD layer...
