three hirez players, three different quirks

i have a yamaha 1500 a denon 2200 and a panasonic rp91. all old to be sure. i play pet sounds on the panasonic every menu and audio choice is their. on the denon it displays that the disc cannot be played on this 'non dvd-audio' player, its a dvdaudio player. i get it to work by hitting the play button twice then i get the sub menu not the main menu,i cant acsess the video portion. i must turn the disc over to the dvd video side to see the video contents.sacd it plays fine.the yamaha cannot play sacd it only plays the cd portion of the disc. i have it propaly set up. i have lots of experiance,but i never used these players in my pocession to play hi-rez audio before, now i want to and i get all this....any ideas from people familiar with the players. thamkyou ... john . ps also the beatles love has only 5.1 in dts and dd, the hi rez is pcm audio? is it because i have my setup for two channel not multichannel. i thought it would still show up on the menu on the tele screen regardless of my set up of players.only the panasonic shows everything but i did not put the beatles love in it. this is weird, it seems all discs play on all players differently.

you were right. ithought i knew everything.i went into the denon and the last screen has audio or video as priority,ihad video.if i play the 5.1 section it displays p.pcm and 96/24 bits. when i play the 2 channel hi rez it displays l.pcm not p.pcm and it does not show me the bit rate. could i leave it in the 5.1 channel mode since my player , if it can, downmix it to two channel. all this will be moot soon since im probably going back to 5.1 setup since the new king crimson discs are coming out and their is alot i want in 5.1. thanks so much you hit it on the head. john ...by the way the denon on the display on the unit shows 5.1 channels with little boxes,but i have the unit set to stereo, i wonder i know downmixing is not allowed on certain discs but it sounds like im not missing anything. anyway thankyou again.... john
