SACD Hookups? (1 Viewer)

[D@vid S]

Hello all.

DVD/SACD Player: Sony DVP-NS755V
Receiver: Yamaha RXV730

How do I connect these together to listen to SACDs? It will play but I get no sound. Do I have to use the 5-CH Output connectors for SACD?

Here's how my audio is connected now:
DVD to Receiver = Optical

I used the coax for the digital cable, but DVD to Receiver = Coax did not work either.

I also configured the DVD player to have just about everything turned on.

You cannot pass SACD or DVD-A via digital connections, only analog (yes, you must use the multi-channel outs). This means you've got to go buy 3 pairs of stereo RCAs, or one and listen in stereo only. You can leave the digital coax for DVDs.

Excellent.

Thank you much. I was just about to leave and now I can stop by the store and buy some RCA's.

ANy stero RCA's will work right??

I mean you could even use the 2 audio portions of a 3 cable setup for Aud & Vid.

ANy stero RCA's will work right??

Yes, assuming they are built reasonably well.

In theory, yes any cables will work, but you don't want to go firing up one of the highest resolution audio formats available using $5 cables, now do you?

You can't come back and say it doesn't sound good if you do...
