Hi all,
Over this past weekend I got a sweet deal on a Denon 756 DVD Player. Anyway, I was under the impression that only sources coded a certain way could utilize the 5.1 analog outputs. Specifically SACD. I currently don't own any SACD's but that will be changing very soon.
I do however own some DVD Audio discs. This is where my confusion comes in......I can hear audio out of both the Analog inputs and the Coaxial Digital cable. In fact, any DVD I use I can select either the Digital input or the Analog and sound comes out. I went into the Denon's menu and adjusted the speaker levels and distance etc. for the Analog output. I also adjusted the levels in my Harman Kardon 435. Still I get sound from either source. The difference is night and day however....the coaxial digital sound is much better than the analog...on the analog I have to crank up the volume to hear it and it doesn't sound that good even at high SPLs.
Should I always select digital inputs for regular DVDs and DVD audio discs?
If so, then the analog should only be used for SACDs...?
Also, I have a selection for PCM...when/what is this for?
Please help a newb enjoy the fruits of this fine Denon player!
and yes, I have the analog inputs hooked up correctly with RCA connects......
Thanks for the help!!
