LOL.............. I just have to get in here. I definitely agree with markw also. Everyone, except maybe one person here, knows that when you say DVD-A or DVD-Audio, you're talking about the high resolution tracks (MLP) on the disc. Just like everyone knows when you say PC, you're talking about a Windows based computer, and not a Mac, even though a Mac is technically a PC (personal computer) also.

When you need a bandage for your finger, you ask for a Band-Aid, even though there are many brands. Or when you need a facial tissue, to blow your nose, you ask for a Kleenex, and not for a Puffs. DVD-A and DVD-Audio, have become synonymous, with the High Resolution 5.1 or 2.0 tracks on the disc, which cannot be played with a digital coax or optical cable. Those that want to listen to the DD or DTS tracks, will buy a concert dvd, and not a DVD-Audio disc.

Rich-n-Texas.............
Did you buy the DVD-A for high resolution 5.1/ 2.0 sound (that most people rave about), or for DD/DTS tracks?
To listen to the high resolution 5.1 surround tracks, of a DVD-A music disc, you must have the 6 analog (5.1) cables, hooked up from the dvd player to the receiver. Then you must use the "Multi-Channel" mode (on Denon receivers, it's the "EXT. IN" mode), instead of the dvd mode, to hear them. I know that for a while, Panasonic played DVD-A discs, in 2-channel only. But I think they finally added the ability for 5.1 surround, for the high res tracks. Panasonic did not support SACD at all. Have they started playing them now?

Lots of people have bought DVD-A discs, without reading the package, taking it for granted that it was high res, 5.1 surround and found the disc was only 2-channel for the high res. You need to read the package. It will tell you if it's a multi-channel or 2-channel recording.
Good luck with it.............
