I have the Pioneer DV-578a and the Yamaha RX-V750.

I can play DVD Audio and DTS disc but I jut bought Journey greatest hits in SACD and it only plays threw my 2 front speakers. I select multi-channel on my receiver but only the 2 front speaker’s output sound. I check all of the settings for the Pioneer DVD player and made sure I correctly inserted the analog inputs of my Receiver.

Can someone help me out; I am pretty new with this SACD stuff.


Thanks
 
What audio connection are you using? You have to use the 6 analog out from dvd to the 6 multi-channel audio in on receiver. Then select multi-channel input.

i have both the Digital optical and the 6 analog conections hooked up.

My receiver has a muti-channel button on the front and i select that, if its not in multi-channel mode i hear no sound when playing the SACD
 
Some SACDs are hybrids and also contain a standard Rebook CD layer. It sounds like that is what is getting played. Is there a menu on the disc where you can choose the hi-res layer instead of the 2 channel cd layer?
 
I don’t see a menu on the disc, when I click on the menu button on the DVD remote it says feature not accessible.
 
If I remember correctly, the Journey SACD is Stereo only. Just because is says SACD on it doesn't automatically mean it will be multichannel. Check the label on the Disc Jacket.

This the one i bought, i think you are right it is only Stereo,

That sucks i was looking forward to hearing 5.1 version of this band.

Oh well like i said i am new to the whole SACD thing.

Thanks for your help.
