Oh, I never answered the question weither it works or not.

Yes, surprisingly it does work. You just have to make certain that you select the multi-channel analog input when you listen. I had to work with my remote a little bit in order to have it tell my reciever when I was listening to DVD-A, (with the 5.1 channel input) SACD (5.1 channel input) CD (PCM Digital input, or DVD's (DD and DTS Digital input) it's a bit of a micos nightmare, but once you get everything set up you are good to go. Like I said before, it was a bit of a hastle setting everything up, but now it's a sheer format dream.
