I'm not sure if this has been covered here before. So, I'll relate my experiences with my new Yammy receiver.
The book on my Pioneer DV-610AV universal player says the it would output SACD/DVD-A over HDMI. After hooking everything up, I could only get 2.0 with a number of discs. I thought I was going to be stuck going 5.1 analog only.
A little googling told me that the players output had to be set at a higher resolution. So, I switched from 480P to 1080i .....
And now Blue Man Group Audio is knocking my socks off. :banana-dance: :banana-rock: :banana-dance: :banana-rock:
(A little too much volume. I almost blew my center speaker, just now) :eusa-whistle:
"If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is recommended that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-Audio and SACD).
According to the HDMI specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz).
Depending on the capability of your A/V receiver or audio processor, if you play high resolution audio content at 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a high HDMI output resolution such as 720p or 1080i allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels. "
