Denon 2910 SACD questions


Hi, I'm struggling with a couple of issues related to my SACD player (other than the limited selection of SACDs!)

1) Unsure if i am getting stereo SACD sound if using the CD outputs from the 2910? Are the 5.1 outputs the only ones that output higher quality SACD audio in both multi channel AND stereo format?

2) A minor but nagging issue, I've been unable to figure out how to keep "HDMI 480p" indicator from flashing on the unit's display.

I have a fairly basic setup
Denon AVR 3805
Denon DVD/SACD 2910
Sonus Faber Concerto (no surround sound)
Turntable TBD

Appreciate any and all advice.

cheers,
kevin

SACD will only be available if you use the analog outputs of the player. The 5.1 outputs are for multi channel sacd. The left and right analog RCA'a are for 2 Channel (which you have). I am not sure if your unit plays SACD thru the HDMI output. Some players like the Sony 5400ES will play SACD thru HDMI out. Read your owners manual, I would look it up for you but it would be better to do it yourself since it is your query. Good Luck!
