SACD from Denon 2200 (1 Viewer)

[Stu_Ca]

I’m having trouble getting multi-channel audio (SACD) from a Denon 2200 through a 3803 receiver. DVDs play great 6.1 through the optical cables; however I can’t seem to get the proper settings for SACD playback. I’m using the multi-channel jacks out from the 2200 to the EXT. IN on the receiver. Could someone please walk me through the proper settings for both the 2200 & 3803 to achieve SACD.

Funny!
I was going to post a similar question and before that did a search on SACD and found your posting.

I have a similar problem, but different brands.
My Sony DVD plays SACD too. I have connected it through an optical cable to my HK7200 (this is the only audio connection between my DVD and A/V). I have a two front speakers Stereo setup and no surround yet. I am not able to hear anything when I play my SACDs whereas others are fine including movies etc...

Stu_ca, I hope you don't mind me piggy backing in the same thread.

in order listen to SACD or DVD-A, you have to do the following:

1) Ensure that you are using analog multichannel connections between the DVD and AVR. It won't work w/ optical/coax connections.
2) Set up your DVD player for multichannel. I also have the 2200 and you have to go to the setup menu to change the audio to multichannel from 2 channel.
3) Configure your AVR to multichannel analong. Once again, it won't work in digital mode.

Cesar, Thanks. Let me try this when I go home.

Thanks Cesar, it was the multi setting in the 2200 set up menu. All is well!

Make sure the disc you are using has a multi channel mix on it, some are 2 channel only.
