New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

You're right about that being murky, but

if I had to place a wager, I'd bet that it does, in fact, offer 5.1 DVD-A/SACD playback, but that the manual says to select "stereo" simply because the unit only has enough speaker connections and power for the two included speakers. The Center, and L/R Surrounds are supplied with line-outs only. In addition to three more speakers, you'd need three more channels of amplification to listen in surround.

But, the surround-sound buyer really wouldn't be looking at stereo microcomponent systems now, would they. I think Onkyo is simply cramming in bells and whistles to boost the "gee-whiz" factor.
