    DVD-A and 1066

    I just picked up a Denon DVD-2900 and am experimenting with DVD-Audio for the first time. Since I'm not interested in anything but two-channel playback, must I still connect the 2900 stereo analog outs to my Rotel 1066's multi input, or will regular analog inputs for CD suffice?

    thanks in advance

      DVD-A is 5 channel only. SACD is the one that comes in 2ch or 5ch or both. So to 'experiment' with DVD-A, you really need the 6 RCA cables going to the multi-channel input.

          DVD-A can also be listened in 2-ch. Always you can do a 'downmix' from 5.1ch to 2ch if the only version on the disk is 5.1 however many DVD-A disks have a 2-ch mix as well, with max sampling freq at 192kHz (unlike 96kHz for 5.1ch) and 24bit. This information should be available on the 'inlay card' with the DVD-A disk.

              Let's take it a step further. If I want a 192kHz two-channel downmix, is it necessary to connect the player via the multi input on the 1066, or can I simply run it to my stereo CD input?
              thanks again

                  I am no expert in multichannel music but just using logic would tell me that you would only need to connect the two fronts via RCA in order to recieve the two channel portion of a DVD-A/SACD disk.

                  Correct me if I am wrong.

                      You can connect the two RCA signals [from front outs or seperate 2-ch audio outs on the DVD player/SACD player etc] to any analog 2-ch input [except phono of course] on your amplifier/processor/receiver etc. Once you program your DVD-A player/SACD player to output 2-ch and not 5.1ch there should be no problems.

                          DVDA/SACD Connections to 1066
                          by Mike Hayes
                          I am considering purchasing a Pioneer 563A ($180) universal player to replace my Toshiba SD5700. I am currently using just the digital connection (not using the 5 analog cables for DVDA). This will be my first experience with DVDA/SACD in conjunction with my 1066 so please bear with me.

                          by Danbry39
                          Just bought my first DVDA, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and need to know how to set up the Rotel 1066. Denon 1600 DVD player to output DVDA. Right now, I've placed the disc in the 1600 and sound seems to come out of all speakers after I pushed the Multi Imput button on the Rotel's front panel. The display...

                          RDV-1060 update to fix DVDA, does exist!
                          by Kevin D
                          Just to let you know, Mike at Rotel definately knows about the DVDA problem that reverts the 1060 to SCART mode, and they have an update. I know some people got the update, while others were getting the run-around..

                          They were pretty serious about saying you could really mess up your...

                          RDV1060 DVDA Problem
                          by fordster
                          I've had my RDV1060 for a few weeks now and finally got round to buying a DVD Audio (Under Rug Swept - Alanis Morrisette). When I insert the disc the player picks up that it is a DVDA and shows 96-24MLP on the display. However, that's about all that happens beyond a bit of clicking. The timer eventually...
