You need 6 analog cables for DVD-A.

Looks like you are right. The CP-72s manual has the 5.1 surround analog, six jacks, as the DVD-A out. I'll go ahead and run the cables for it, see if it works. The receiver has the inputs for it. Some of the DVD-A discs I have also allege to have Dolby Digital tracks and I can't get those to play on all of them, some do, some don't. The 96/24bit 2 channel track does work and sounds good.My newer DMR-ES15 dvd recorder advertises to have DVD-A, but only has 2 channel output for it. I haven't been following this, it is my first foray into DVD-A, has Panasonic abandoned the format? Sure looks like it.
I have the Panny S97 DVD and DVD-A player. I bought it in fall, 2005 for $270. Now (March, 2007) I see it at a major NYC on-line retailer for $229.99. I comes with an HDMI cable, so I know you can get 5.1 sound out with that. (I'm using two analog cables to my stereo receiver). Since this unit is still on the market, Panasonic has not abandoned DVD-A, or had not when these shipped.

Are you telling me that you can't get DVD-A thru an optical connection?
Never could, maybe never will. HDMI is the best bet for hi rez audio output for the future.
> > "Never could, maybe never will."Actually, you can get sound from a DVD-A disc through the optical or coaxial digital audio out - but that signal will be degraded to 48K/24b or 48K/16b if the content is from a copy-protected disc, and the display will not even tell you at all whatsoever that the audio is being degraded when played back through the digital audio out (it will tell you only the originally encoded sampling rate and quantization rate).
