Glad to hear the unit is giving you the desired results...always a good thing! The SACD/DVD-A sound SHOULD be better with speakers set to "Small", as this will route the low freq's to the sub where setting to large will not. My main point is with the 563's bass management. As Curtis said, SACD is 120hz and DVD-A is 200hz. My sub does not allow for bypassing the internal crossover. 120hz is okay, though not optimal, but my highest setting is 150hz which would leave a 50hz hole in the sound with DVD-A's. since the woofer in my sub is 12", I'd like to keep it below 100hz. I only have one SACD right now, Peter Gabriel's "Shaking the Tree", so I haven't tried DVD-A yet! As for progressive scan performance...only a dream for now as I am struggling to replace my 27" Panasonic that lost it's power supply, an I.C. and two cap's!
