The problem wasn't the SA-60, it was me. I used a Harmony One that turned on the Sony, the SP3, and a JC 2 BP -- front LR from the SP3 passes through the JC 2 BP to access JC 1 amps. But when I installed the SA-60, I powered it and the SP3 manually. I forgot to power up the JC 2 BP, so front LR was not being passed to the amps. I need to reprogram the remote.
Sorry about the needless posts and denigration of the SA-60. Surround sound with the SA-60 is very similar to stereo with the Ayre C-5xeMP, musical rather than HiFi. I suspect it's superior preservation of timbral nuances.
