Hi,

I just bought a Denon 756 DVD player and am happy to finally be able to listen to SACDs. I don't have any yet but will be getting some soon...

Anyway, my impression was that the 5.1 Analog would be used for SACD only. But, when I fired up the player I got sound with regular DVDs and DVD Audio discs. It actually sounded better when I switched the audio from Analog to digital and used the coaxial digital connection instead of the RCA connections. I used the menus in the Denon player to configure the levels and distance etc...I also did the same in my Harman Kardon 435.

Ok, so here are my questions:

1. Which source should I select when watching regular DVDs?
2. Ditto of #1 but with DVD Audio discs?
3. What is PCM? I have a selection for bitstream or PCM....when should I engage this?

4. When listening to SACD, should I use the Analog outs?

Thanks for the help!!
