So I've had this unit since last January. It plays SACDs fine, but I can't get DVD-A to work. I have it set on bitstream, do I need to switch it to PCM? I bought a Coltrane DVD-A and it says its playing, but no sound. I have it running optically into my reciever. Also, I burned a DVD+R using scott browns iso maker, and nero. It won't play. Do I need to use a DVD-r?

I think you have to set it to PCM. I had that player but sold it because I could not get it to play dvd-a's gaplessly. I always use DVD-Rs, so I'm not sure about that. The manual should list disc compatibility. Howevewr, my friend has an old Toshiba that says it will play dvd-a's but not dvd-r's - well it plays dvd-r's back no problem!

you need to have it set to PCM, but the earlier comment that it wont play dvd-a's gapless is why I got rid of mine

the newer basic sony dvd players will play any type of disc and decode DTS and do progressive scan all for $70 or less. remember when a CHEAP dvd player was $200? technology has no lasting value now (unless it's music gear).

sony does not support dvd-a
it is a competing technology with their format SACD

Well... I asked at one point, and walked away with the distinct impression that DVD-A won't work via optical output. However, I use optical output on my 4960 for DVD-A, and it works fine. I'd suggest hooking up an analog connection as well, and see if that works.

commercial DVD-As didnt work over digi outputs for me, but ones that I authored did, albeit with gaps

Sorry, I should be more clear - I haven't tried commercial DVD-As, only ones that I've authored. It they have gaps as well.

So, just to clarify...there are many different issues. LOL
The DVD I put in last night, just said stop (it was the scottbrown>nero one). Reburn?
