Is it safe to assume that for two-channel analog sources (ie SACD, DVD-Audio), it is irrelevant whether you use the Multi-Channel input (L & R only) or the Direct mode of one of the inputs?

As far as the sound goes, there will be no difference whether you select 2-channel analog bypass or multichannel analog bypass for a two channel analog input source. In either case, all digital conversions and processing will be bypassed. But operationally there are some differences in the way the user interface will respond. For instance, if you use a two channel analog input, you can go "Direct" directly by pressing the button marked "Direct" on the remote, or use digital processing (such as subwoofer/bass management) features by selecting "Stereo" (or any of the modes other than "Direct"). However, if you use "multichannel" as your input, first, of course, you have to set it up in the setup menus, and then select it via the "Audio" button on the remote, toggling from the other default modes. And if you should choose a digital processing option while "multichannel" is in use, you will get an error message "Not available in Multi Ch" -- per the Instruction Manual "The operation is not allowed because the selected in-put source is set for multichannel input."
So either two channel analog or two channels of the multichannel inputs can be used for two channel analog, but you will need to decide which option is more convenient and/or makes more sense for your component configuration.

New press release just came out. FINALLY! :banana: I know a couple of our club members here have been waiting for this one for a while.
There's a few things about this final release model that I find interesting:
- I like that it has TWO multichannel analog inputs, not just... -
There has been some concern and confusion here about whether the programmable channels work on the C1/C2 when listening to a source through the 7.1 multichannel analog inputs.
I did some testing on my C1 to get the real answer in operation, not out of a book. The answer is that it depends... -
I just purchases a Classe-ssp300 to replace my Rotel 1068. I tried to connect my Krell SACD player to ssp300. I cannot find the input for multichannel analog audio input from the system setup. There is only digital input selection. I cannot even find the analog input selection. Anyone who has ssp300...07 September 2008, 22:59 Sunday -
I have a Rotel 1056 and have recently purchased a Pioneer 51fd blu-ray player which I am using the multichannel analog input. Do I need to boost the bass by 15 db's (is speakers are set to small in the player) or does the receiver automatically provide the boost?
Thanks,

Please bear with me as this is my first real post here. I just joined.
I've had a Sony receiver for a year or so and I'm now looking to get into the separates. Due to some budget constraints I'll have to first get an amplifier and use my receiver as the processor and then sometime later...
