Posted by Charles Altmann on 2004-08-05, 08:05:22 (217.83.104.41)
The Pioneer 563A (or the european 565A version) are both able to output 24/96. But they do only, when the DVD/DVD-A allows it. I have some Chesky DVDs that allow 96kHz output. Most DVD-As do not allow .......

I also have a Pioneer DV-563a (like the originator of this thread), and I can confirm that the front L-R analog outputs of the 5.1 set do indeed output 192/24 DVD-Audio stereo *if* the disc is encoded .......

I don't think the 3950 is more reliable than the 3960, and vice versa. For under $150, there are many cheaper dvd/cd players out there, but I have not heard that many of them. I know the 3950/3960 so .......

With everything else being equal for the price, that being the CD and DVD playback quality, I have always stated it's unfortunate that Joe conusmer is unaware of the availability of these players. Tha .......

I have not used the Pioneer 563A, but here's how DVD-A players work in general. You go to the setup menu and set it for 2-channel playback. ***Depending on the way the disc is authored*** the stereo M .......

I'm not familiar how the pioneer operates. "got me a Pioneer DV 563A. I should still use the L R outputs from the 5.1 cluster?" Try it. You can check with a multimeter. If the resistance is between ze .......
