Sony X800 connections for surround sound with Sonos

[mrkite1967]

Hi, completely new to this, but didnt know where else to go for help!

I have a surround sound system with Sonos via playbar and have just purchased an X800 blu ray player to play, cds, dvd Audio and SACD hybrid in surround sound.  I am baffled by all the settings on the player and just want to know what settings to use as the SACD in multi channel doesnt sound really multi channel.  The settings on the TV are fine as it plays 5.1 through SKY.  Blu Ray audio plays in surround fine, it just seems to be SACD.

Hi mrkite1967,

I would suggest to adjust the settings for the following for SACD:

1- DSD output Mode: Auto. This is on page 21 in the user manual.

2- Super Audio CD Playback Layer: Super Audio CD. This in on page 23.

3- Super Audio CD Playback Channels: Switch between DSD 2ch and DSD Multi and check the best option.

Here is a link for the online manual in case you needed that: https://bit.ly/2oQvSJ2

Hope this helps.
