Yes you can. Look at your manual and set the Sony to play 2ch only for SACD. You need to go to the setup and set the audio output format to 2ch for SACD.
Stereo SACD on a Multi SACD player?
I just bought a Sony DVP-NC555ES player and have a question. At this time I only have a two channel setup although my receiver has a multi-channel input. I have my player Multi output front left and right connected to the multi front left/right of the receiver. When playing a SACD 5.1 disk such as The Who's Tommy, is it possible to hear the SACD layer through 2 channels? I guess I don't fully understand all of the bells and whistles and I can't find any reference to this in the manual. My understanding is that Multi SACD will play on a 2 channel only SACD player, can this be made to happen on a Multi Channel player as well?
