Multichannel outlet connections for Yamaha DVD-S1800BL I purchased the Yamaha DVD-S1800BL primarily to play SACD and DVD-A discs. I connected the analog multichannel out to my A/V receiver, and the HDMI to my TV. I used the setup to turn HDMI audio output off, but I cannot get any audio output. The user manual is of little help in setting up audio connections. Could someone who has a similar setup let me know how to get it to work?Thanks.

1. Make sure the settings on your player includes multichannel output. It's under the speaker settings.2. Connect the multichannel output from the player via RCA cables to your player. There will be a total of 6 RCA wires needed for multichannel 5.1 analog output.3. Set the output on your receiver to Analog/Direct Multichannel/7.1/5.1 Analog.These should do the trick. You can test out by playing DTS/Dolby multichannel track from a DVD too and make sure the settings are like above.

Hello,Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path. Based on that, it has digital inputs (2 digital optical, 2 digital coaxial, 1 AES/ EBU, and 1 USB) and no analog inputs. So unfortunately you would not be able to run an analog input into the DAC. If your SACD player does have one of the digital ports, you can connect it out of the CD player into the XDA-2. If you are wanting to run the XDA-2 into the SACD player I am unaware if that is possible, you will need to check with your SACD player manufacture to confirm.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope you have a great rest of the day. Hello,Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path.

Hi Tom,I purchased a Panasonic BD80. They provide specific instructions and connected it to Onkyo for analog audio 5.1ch. There is a setup screen to select 5.1ch and I was sure to select multichannel PCM. I used the Onkyo DVD multichannel button on the remote started playback. It did display "multichannel" but not PCM. It still sounds like stereo to me and have no idea what I might might have done wrong. Any way thank for your help.Dennis

IMHO the cable box and blu ray are providing the signal into the receiver. The TV is usually connected with an HDMI cable from the receiver output to a TV input and the TV receives the signal thru/from the receiver. I do not believe that is going to solve your problem. I would suggest going thru the set-up menu and option menu double checking the HDMI options etc... Contact Yamaha also via their website... Please let us know what you find...

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

Something was wrong. I have been using mine flawlessly on my sony player. I started with the red and white audio outputs and then changed to the toslink optical cable. Remember that you are adding another volume control, and you need to enable the appropriate outputs.

At my advice DO NOT but this unit. I was on the phone with Yamaha for over 3 hours. A rep told me that Yamaha receivers need to be hardwired - not at all true. If your DVD player has wifi you dont need any additional hardware. For your receiver buy the TP-LINK TL-WA801ND Wireless N300 Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater, 2x 4dBi, Passive POE like I did from Amazon; it works perfectly and no Yamaha issues. Good luck!

This isn't an answer, but clarifying the question, since I have the same problem. I expected two cables - a red and a white to go from L/R audio out on the TV to L/R audio in on the box. What I GOT with the unit was ONE cable, split into R/W (two plugs) on one end and with only ONE plug (black) on the other end. So how do we connect four ports with the three plugs? This has nothing to do with the power supply. Thanks!

Paul - what do you mean by "receiver" - I would be connecting the DVD player directly to my Samsung LCD TV (Samsung LNS3251D 32" LCD HDTV) using the 2nd HDMI input. Am I good ?Also I found this comment about my Samsung: its HDMI connections still support version 1.0 and I cannot connect my Toshiba DVD player which supports Ver1.1 HDMI specs - Is this a problem if I get the A20? Thanks in advance....jon battle

I would read the directions that were set up with it. If you have experienced a recent power outage, sometimes the sync function between the Receiver and the unit has to be reestablished. Meaning that you may have lost setup settings. Also make sure no one has flipped settings on the front or back as that will cause a problem with the unit turning on. (word to the wise, when you fix it write down the configuration in the manual) additionally the cable that is plugged in the back of the sub....make sure it wasnt pulled out of the back of your receiver by mistake. If you have this hooked up as a "speaker" and not a sub, also make sure the connections are established. Is this hooked up to a Yamaha receiver? If so you may want to cycle through the on screen setup directions and use the auto setup mic that came with the unit. Every time I have issues, I use that tool and it always seems to fix the connection issues. I know with mine, if the PCM source is not working (digital) the unit wont sence the signal and turn on. If you have multiple source inputs (DVD CD and GAme Player) you may want to make sure that they are putting out the required digital signal or it wont jump start the sub. ....I know, when did setting up Stereo equipment become a full day tech project? I am missing the analog days myself

Hello Kate, It sounds like you have a series of red, white, and yellow ports on the DVD player: red= left audio white= right audio yellow= video The 5 ports on your TV are red, green, blue, red, white: Red= red video Blue= blue video Green= green video Red= left audio White= right audio You would need to connect your DVD to a series of Red, White, and Yellow ports on the TV. Most TVs have both the 5 ports area and the 3 ports area to input a cable. You can use this Mediabridge 5 connector cable for that. Just use the Green cable to go into the Yellow port on both the TV and the DVD player. In this setup your Red and Blue video cables on the Mediabridge cable will not be connected to anything. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

Can I connect this directly to my DVD player? My DVD player has the following: "Line out video"; "S-Video out"; "R, L Audio out"; "Component video out" (which is 3 RCA size jacks); "Digital out coaxial" (which is one RCA size jack). Thanks.

Can I use 1 port for component Video & audio L & R from my DVD player while using a 2nd port going to my analog stereo system at the same time? (To hear the DVD audio through my stereo speakers while watching a movie)

Richard, I run my player with a Behringer 1202 FX mixer and a Peavey IPR 1600 power amplifier and Two Peavey PR-15 speakers. I run three wired microphones and two wireless microphones. This is as professional as I can get with the Acesonic DGX-213. No you cannot connect speakers to the player and expect audio to come out of the RCA jacks on the back, further more you can connect this player to a old receiver amplifier and use your home speakers. I hooked my player up this way and it will work fine. I can watch DVD movies through this payer and my HDTV. Also if your home audio and HDTV are connected and have HDMI connections the karaoke player will work that way also. Hope this helps.

I plugged it into the left input of subwoofer and connect channel one (out put) of Pioneer VSX-824 5.2-Channel. When I do sound check the subwoofer respond perfectly fine but when I play pandora, airplay with iPhone or DVD, the subwoofer does not make any noise at all. What do I do?

You have to go thru HDMI to get the surround on DVD audio, I listened to 1 DVD audio and it worked, but it took a long time to load each track and really, did not sound that great/NOW, forget that, this is the best CD player I have ever heard, SACDs are incredible, have both of the Allman Brothers that are in SACD. WHAT a great media, I wish there were more CDs in SACD, it sounds so much better than a CD. It did take me a real long time to understand how to work everything, but you know, there are audiophile reviewers that use this universal disc player for a reference player when they review 5000 dollar CD players.

I am unfamiliar with the particular product you are enquiring about, however: Your TV model has Digital Optical TOSLINK output. Providing your Sound Bar has Digital Optical TOSLINK input I would recommend instead: http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-TOSLINK-Digital-Optical-Switcher/dp/B00G188Z7A/ref=sr_1_9?s=audio-video-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1407943737&sr=1-9 (copy this link to your browser) The product is available from Amazon $31.95. You would also need two TOSLINK cables (Optical Digital Audio) - one from your TV to one of the input ports on the ViewHD connector and one from output port of the connector to the Sound Bar. Different lengths are available from Amazon. I have used this connector to link my HDTV, BlueRay player and Cable Box to my Sound Bar. One advantage is that when playing cable music channels and wanting sound only, I can switch sound signals to go direct from cable box to sound bar and leave TV off. This is a very useful connector.
