Awnyc:
A couple of points to make...
Right now the DVD source works fine, it's just that when people use the G68 they need to know to push DVD for a non-SACD CD, it's counter intuitive. The CD source only works for SACDs.
Ok, then define a phantom source and change its properties so that it uses the same digital input as the DVD player. Then they hit
CD and they playback CDs.
To me, this is much ado about nothing, since most people know that DVD players can play CDs as well.
Also, do you mean I need to run another cable from the SACD player to a set of analog ins for 2 channel? Why isn't the Meridian smart enought to treat the first 2 analog inpusts ogf the multichannel input as left and right for 2 channel?
When you select the source that's defined as multi-channel, how does the G68 know that it's only supposed to be setup for stereo on a disc by disc basis? You said it's multi-channel and then you want a behaviour from the input that isn't valid for a multi-channel source. There's no meta-data that tells the player that this is coming across as a stereo only signal.
When you select the input, it's going to fall under the category of multi-channel music and allow DSP functions that are appropriate to that type of input.
You can either string two extra cables for an additional stereo input, which then gets you access to the 2-chan music and movie DSP options, or you can try to define a phantom input, which points to the stereo L/R pair for stereo SACD playback.
There is no easy way to do this, as things sit with the current version of MConfig, and as such this is what you have to do to get things to work the way you want them to.
Whether that behaviour changes down the road or not is anybody's guess.
Cheers,
