However......
I have a Denon 2200 player, and Yamaha ASP5 amp, mainly used for a projector
home cinema system - and damn good it is too, generally. I have also got a
few SACDs and DVD audio discs. Amongst the SACD collection is Mike Oldfield
(tubular bells ...what else - and I get no output from either the sub, or
the centre speaker.
I am pretty sure the system is set up correctly, and cables / connectors etc
are sound.
As I get something from every channel on Pink Floyd (dark side of the
moon ) SACD, and Sting's (ten summoners tales) on DTS (DVD audio), is it
just that Tubular bells does not have any data on the sub and centre
channel?? I expect some flames from people stating that I have answered my
own question, but you know how it is when a little thing niggles you - you
just gotta try and find answers ! Surely someone else has this particular
disc other than me !!! TYIA

What sort of SACD is it ? SACD or Hybrid?


Have a look at the listings on Amazon for both discs

That might help

It shows a man standing there with 5 speakers but no Sub used

The SACD uses the original Quadraphonic mix and so will have no centre info.

There may be no signals on those channels. One of my current SACD
players indicates the number of active channels and many use 6, some
use 5 and some use 4. Of course, some (all?) use 2. ;-)

It is a hybrid SACD ( appears to be only available on SACD as a hybrid) Yes
....I am using analogue conxns to the amps 5.1 inputs, and selecting
"external decoder" on the player etc etc. Think from what I have
subsequently read on google searches that it is indeed only the original
"quadrophonic" mix...so no centre channel is likely . Can't understand why
sub-woofer doesn' kick in though??

Again: There may be none and you'd have to invoke BM in order to
create one.

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.
