I've a few SACD's which have both stereo and 5.1 mixes on them.
I have a Marantz SACD player (SA7001) which i currently have connected to my Marantz stereo amp (PM7001), so obviously can only listen to the stereo mix of the SACD's on my hi-fi system.
My question is, can my SACD player be connected to my home cinema AV amp to play 5.1 audio (currently have an old Denon - think it's the AVR-1501, but not 100% sure off the top of my head), and if this can be done, more to the point, how does this work, as i'll be connecting via a stereo cable ?
Does the amp automatically convert the stereo signal into 5.1 ?
Thanks
