Okay I believe I understand it now. If I ever decided to hookup the multichannel analog outputs and besides the the above mentioned speaker settings, is there any other changes in the Oppo's settings I would need to make? The SPDIF would still be set to Raw right?

And I've never bought any SACD disc before but if you just wanted to listen in 2-channel would you really need to run more than a RF and LF analog out of the Oppo or is it still necessary to run all six outs?
