I have a Denon 2308 amp and a Denon 1940ci DVD player. The pure direct mode is a stereo mode, not SACD (multichannel). It is explained I believe in the manual for the amp. Both player and amp units have a selectable Pure Direct mode option, but personally, I can't tell the difference. Btw, Pink Floyd's Dark Side SACD seems to be the benchmark standard in the sense that it works to expectations. All of my Rolling Stone digipak SACD's are stereo output to the speakers even when SACD indicator is lit on player. Very disappointing and a cause of much learning.

One more thing to Norman Normal, you have not specified which amp you have. If you have a Denon, there is a menu option buried down deep where you can specify multi-channel or two-channel.

I can find no option to switch between SACD and CD layers. The s570 automatically makes that decision for you. You can have it default to SACD and DSD, but, if the s570 decides to play an SACD as a CD, there is no way to tell it to do otherwise. And, when TDSOTM plays as SACD, that is no gurantee it will play as a SACD when stopped and restarted.I am hoping Sony can fix it and not just tell me I have a dirty SACD.

The only way to rip SACD has been using a PS3 with YellowDog Linux. Only the early PS3 "fat" systems could boot linux separately, and only those have SACD playback. I bounced by a web site that was selling a DSD DAC and advertising SACD ripping, so you can go that route if you choose. I've read that the AK120 will play SACD when placed on the drive, but please double-check before purchase.DSD to PCM would not be a bit-perfect conversion (it's a re-encode), and would depend quite heavily on the quality of the conversion algorithms, plus the number of converters are limited. Apparently NuForce DACs now (falsely) advertise "DSD Playback over USB" but it's via Fubar 2000 pre-converting the DSD to PCM. The only way to rip SACD has been using a PS3 with YellowDog Linux.

As far as I know it does. I have a few sacd's by the kinks on that format and it had no problem playing on the c-7030 I borrowed from an adiophile friend. Am still away on Xmas sabbatical but will check when I return next week or I will try to speak with him beforehand.

My setup is: Raspberry &lt;HDMI&gt; ViewHD ViewHD &lt;HDMI&gt; TV ViewHD &lt;TOSLink/optical&gt; Onkyo TX-SR500 The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1 So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo. No chance to test DTS yet.

I just bought a 3D TV (Samsung PN59D550). I have the Sony bdp-s570 plugged directly into the TV via HDMI, and when I tried to play Bolt 3D, I get the black screen with the message that the set up is not 3D capable and that I should ensure that my blu ray player is hooked up to a 3D capable device via HDMI. I don't get it. Any one else have any suggestions on how to make this work? I don't want to go buy another Blu Ray player, but I am thinking of buying a Samsung BluRay player to ensure compatibility between the two. This is frustrating.

My blu-ray won't play through my rx565 via hdmi. The connections are good. I put the blu-ray directly to the tv and it was fine. My cable tv signal goes through it fine. I tried different ports to no avail. Is there a programming issue with the yamaha?

there is a LPCM "bug" with this Amp. To get it to display DTS, do thisAmp Menu=> HDMI=> Pass thru=> OFFAmp Menu-> HDMI=> Control=> OFFAmp Menu=>HDMI=> Audio Out=> AMPThat should fix all your DTS problems as well as problems with PS4 sound

bluraychip.dk says that DVD and BR will be regionfree, but what´s up with region coded CD / SACD ? will they be playable also? thanks for information... ;-)

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

Yes, we have both also and they both play fine. Only difference I've noticed is sometimes the SD audio is a little quieter, but still able to hear it just fine.

I have been using the DV-980H for over a year now and have not experienced the problem described in playing back audio CDs, SACDs and DVD-As. We have more than 6 units of DV-980H within the family and none have encountered the problem described. But to put this number in perspective, most of them use their DV-980H primarily for DVD playback while I am the only one who uses mine for CDs and SACDs/DVD-As, along with DVDs, MP3s and JPEG DVDs/CDs. As to the need to hook up the DV-980H to a TV to set it up, this may not be necessary unless one needs to change the default settings. A quick check with Oppo's Technical Support should be enough to determine whether there is a need to change the default setting. But if it be necessary to connect the DV-980H to a TV to view the changes, this is a quick and painless process .... with the user able to choose among coaxial (RCA) video , S-video, component video and HDMI.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion! This was not available as an option when I was looking at alternatives to the (out-of-production) BD55 a year ago. It's got what I need - analog 7.1 out (why I am not interested in the BD60...) and BDLive (because why would you buy a player that wasn't internet-ready?). The SACD is a BIG plus in my book... I never said I wouldn't pay $500 for a player - I just said I wouldn't pay $500 for a $250 player...I notice the Oppo doesn't 'do' Amazon streaming media - but that's Amazon's problem, not mine...

Hi Tom,I purchased a Panasonic BD80. They provide specific instructions and connected it to Onkyo for analog audio 5.1ch. There is a setup screen to select 5.1ch and I was sure to select multichannel PCM. I used the Onkyo DVD multichannel button on the remote started playback. It did display "multichannel" but not PCM. It still sounds like stereo to me and have no idea what I might might have done wrong. Any way thank for your help.Dennis

I am fuming also! Where is the Blue Ray or HD DVD player that won't obsolete my collection high definition audio disks? I want something that includes DVD-Audio, SACD, and HDCD.

Does anyone know if there is a patch for multi-region viewing on the BD570 yet? It's been a great machine, but we watch international DVDs and it's a pain to have two machines for this purpose only!Thanks for any help I can get on this.Tim
