I'm new to the world of SACD. I meandered around these boards but
didn't find an answer to my question although I'm sure someone has
asked it before.

I bought the Pioneer DV563A and a SACD disc. I was able to configure
its playback with little problem on that SACD player connected to my
Yamaha HTR 5280 receiver and my 5.1 surround system. The DVD player
is connected via an optical cable to the receiver. I next purchased a
few "Hybrid SACDs" and I now find I'm unable to configure the player
correctly; they do not play on my system. I've gone into the DVD MENU
and tried every option on the Pioneer player:

In the menu 2ch Area/Multi-ch Area/CD Area. No playback on any of
these settings.

There is an addtional area in the menu Digital Out/DTS Out/Linear
PCM Out.
I am using the "Digital Out" setting. There is a small paragraph
labeled: "NOTE...There is no digital output when playing SACDs and
some DVD-A discs regardless of this setting." Hmmmm. I don't quite
understand this.

Do I need to additionally connect the player using Analog outputs and
then switch between the Digital output and the PCM output when
respectively playing SACD and their Hybrid versions?

Appreciate any help/insight someone can offer. As mentioned, I don't
have problems with true SACD; just the HYBRIDs.

thanks
