Hi

I have just bought a Pioneer 656A which includes the ability to play
SACD and DVD-Audio. I have a couple of DVD-A disks with both DD51
sound and Advanced Resolution Surround and Advanced Resolution Stereo
options.

I also have a hybrid Multi-Channel SACD and a couple of hybrid stereo
SACDs.

My question is when playing the DVD-A in Advanced Resolution Surround
mode or the SACD in Multi-Channel mode, what should I have my amp. set
to?

Should it be set to Pro-Logic? I have a Yamaha DSP A1092. If I turn
the effects (DSP) mode completely off, I am pretty sure it restricts
the sound to the two front speakers.

Hopefully this is a very easy question!!

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

David

'6 channel analog' or the equivalent. YOur receive has to have a set of 6
analog connectors at the back, in order to play the advanced resolution
multichannel tracks.

Don't use any DSP on the multichannel analog signal. (On most receivers,
you can't anyway).

Thanks for the quick replies.

Thought I had done something wrong! Now I have it wired up properly
it sounds how it should! Time for me to upgrade the amp. though.
