Technics A10 DVD digital output options

Dvd-audio is analog output, maybe I don't understand. I do have that player.

Sjh32, My only use for my Technics is as a Dvd-audio player so I only use it's 5.1 channel analog outputs. You can not use an outboard dac for dvd-audio with this player. My understanding from your post was that you were all set in the redbook and sacd department? This player will not output Dvd-audio through it's digital outputs but does make a pretty good transport for redbook if thats what your after. I bought mine new a few years back and it has been trouble free, I did use it as a video source the first couple of years I had it..it's picture quality is very good.

Viggen, I've not used my A-10 much for redbook at all. I had a redbook player at the time I bought the A-10..I did however play around with it enough to form an opinion as to which settings do bring out it's best in my system as a two channel redbook player. It has a feature called Re-master, this must be OFF or it will sound steely. It also sounds best if you use it's L/R outputs from the 5.1 analog group of outputs-set center & rear to no. These outputs will play the higher bit-rate DAD disc at full res also. It's been a couple of years but I think this is how I recall it, YMMV.

I just found out today that the A-10 has a hidden menu that controls it's volume. You can drive your amp direct with this unit and control volume from the remote control..It does not say anything in the book about this that I have ever read...strange that Technics would do it this way and not tell you about this.

Hi Viggen, I've always used the A-10 pretty much as a video player, guess I should have read the manual if it's in there as you say. It's still strange to me the way they set it up...hit display twice..toggle left/right and then toggle up or down. Strange!!! I still have not used the volume control and have no need to use it at this time but I am going to dig out the manual and read it now. Thanks
