Amongst the SACD collection is Mike Oldfield
(tubular bells ...what else - and I get no output from either the sub, or
the centre speaker.

You won't get any centre channel from this SACD.

The surround mix on the SACD is the original quadraphonics mix, prepared in
(I believe) 1975. The various quadraphonics formats were all four channel
(4.0 in modern parlance).

The surround SACD layer is different from the better known stereo mix,
particularly towards the end where (memory straining here) there are some
additional instrumentation.

The CD player and stereo SACD layer have the original mix.
