Noel, your description was a bit hard to follow because it appears that you're mentioning both player and receiver settings without clearly separating them. If your player(which you didn't specifically identify)applies the bass management settings which you intended for SACD also to the stereo analog CD outputs, you shouldn't use those outputs. Instead use either the coaxial digital or optical digital output; most simply, take the cables off the analog outputs and use one of them on the coaxial digital output. This will send a full-range signal from the CDs to the 2400 because the player's bass management settings don't affect the digital outputs, just the analog. Then set your 2400 bass management as usual, i.e, all speakers "small" with a 80Hz crossover, the sub on of course, and bass set to SWFR. Your sub will then operate when playing CDs(use the regular stereo mode, no "direct" or "pure"), which your present settings, if I followed, are not allowing. You don't need any new equipment with "more options"; you have what you need right now.
