Second that. I thought you said earlier that you were able to get 2 channel playing through the 5.1 analog connections and picking multi-channel inputs -- was that a CD or something else ?

I still think the CD out is either going to go over the digital link or separate analog outputs, not the 6 channel analog, but then again I do *not* have a 2900 (yet ).

My guess is that your player is working fine but you need to tell your receiver to look somewhere else for the signal.
