I guess your system sounds better when the stereo analog output is used on your SCDXA6400ES instead of the HDMI digital audio output, right? Your symptoms suggest that there may be a digital output from the SCDXA6400ES even when HDMI is turned off. Thank you, yes I do have the HDMI 3 set on the receiver.

I recently got this receiver. I have a Sony SCDXA5400ES SACD player connected. I have HDMI running to HDMI 3 input and the stereo RCA connections running to the SACD/CD input on the receiver. There is a setting on the front of the receiver to choose between digital and analog inputs..........I have it set to AUTO. If I am reading the manual correctly. I should be able to set the input to SACD/CD, turn on the HDMI connection on the 5400ES and listened to multi channel SACD......that so far is working fine. But when I turn off HDMI .. | | MD/CD/SACD | Odd behaivor from the XA-5400 | On 2010-03-07 03:01, msilverz wrote: On 2009-11-12 21:05, redwing-nine wrote: After additional verification, confirmed that the behavior described above is consistent. For analog out, make sure no HDMI cable is connected, and digital out is off. For HDMI. make sure the 6400 does not see the TV on HDMI out. As long as one adheres to this, the XA5400 works great.

I've just added a lovely Sony SCD-C2000ES SACD changer to my system. It's working beautifully, except for one thing: it doesn't appear to have a standby mode from which it can be turned on by remote control. (There is no "Power" button on the remote.) Is there any way for me to set it up so that I can turn it on or off via remote control (I use a Harmony One universal remote)? Thanks!

I found the solution with the AV command mode. I dont remember how to switch this but it will be in your manual. I dont have the receiver anymore so dont have the manual. I switched to AV2 and it worked fine. Don't ask me why it fixed it but it did. I think I had to hold a front button down.....like 2 Channel or something and then turn on the power. Good luck. MNSACD | | MD/CD/SACD | SCD-XA5400ES | Well after a long wait........this player is available for pre-order at Crutchfield. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158XA5400E/Sony-SCDXA5400ES.html?search=SCD-XA5400ES&tp=197 MNSACD | | MD/CD/SACD | SCD-XA5400ES | On 2009-03-10 12:40, richta wrote: Greetings, Does anyone know why this model is so scarce? The only "authorized" retailers that have it available are Sony and J & R. Thanks, RT I have been wondering this myself. I thought for sure Crutchfield would have it by now.

Too bad you did not like the XA9000ES//everyone seems to like it but you. Have you ever thought that the reason they do not demo the SONY CD players is because the SONY's are fairly priced and high quality and they might and will embarass their mega bucks so called esoterics? And by the way, comparing a modded player to a stock player is just not the same.

Even Crutchfield, who is a big Sony dealer, does not carry it. I agree, I had a tough time finding it. I went to Ultimate Electronics and they did not have it in their system (late November) so they special ordered it. It arrived about 2 weeks later. Great player. I did some listening this weekend and am extremely satisfied with the sound. Good luck MNSACD | | MD/CD/SACD | SCD-XA5400ES | I'm not sure but it must have been PCM. The sound differnece is very noticible. Looking forward to doing more listening this weekend. Thanks.

Well......ok. I am not sure what the player is doing then. I had my old Yamaha SACD player hooked up to this receiver via HDMI and it did not sound like this at all! MNSACD | | MD/CD/SACD | SCD-XA5400ES | Greetings, I listened about an hour last night and all I can say is WOW. This is my third SACD player, (first was Sony DVD DVP85NS,second Yamaha C-961) and it really is amazing the level of detail and warm sound it presents. I am using it with Multi-channel HDMI out to a new Yamaha RX-V3900. I listened to Depeche Mode's "Violator" and was simply astounded at all the sounds I was hearing that I missed with the other players. I am eager to do more listening and have the player properly broken in. Highly recommended!

If it's one that can decode DSD (such as the Pioneer VSX-94TXH), can you try to use HDMI out to see if you can use a non-Sony, non-HATS receiver to get pure DSD? Hello, I just picked up this player yesterday and tested it out with my new Yamaha RX-V3900 with HDMI Multi-Channel. With the receiver set to auto decode it shows DSD Direct or something like that on the front and a smaller DSD sign in the left of the display. So without HATS you do get DSD.

I think ARC / HATS / PQLS / i-link are well worth having, though I haven't been in the position of trying to equate the benefit to a budget. I've simply owned and used a couple of players and amps that have i-link, and found it very worthwhile having. I would expect the HDMI implementation to be very good as well.

If I connect the new XA5400ES SACD player via HDMI will there be a huge difference with H.A.T.S? I think I read somewhere that the HDMI spec now contains similar functionality. THanks! MNSACD | | Amp/Receiver/Speaker... | 6400ES | So from what I can see H.A.T.S is only available on the 6400ES in theUS. The EU version of the 5400ES will have it. So, how much of adifference will there be in audio quality if one was to hook up the newXA5400ES SACD player to one of the lower end units, like the 4400ESwith DSD decoding as opposed to the 6400ES with H.A.T.S????
