Thanks that is all great help. I am down to my last few issues. On a side bar, is there anything more frustrating than trying to hook up all those stinking speaker wires on those screw terminals, jeesh, what a pan in the neck. There has got to be a better way.
Now that makes perfect sense on the zone 2 hook ups, I was trying to figure out why the dig coax worked and the others (TV and DVD) did not.
1. So my DVD is connected with optical and therefore it should work. I would like it too but currently it doesn't, do I have to set something up to make that happen. I play DVD audio sometimes and I like that to play through the whole house audio. I guess the Cable box would ply as well if I hooked it up as a Optical as well as the hdmi.
2. When in Stereo(TV or CD or VCR) mode if the sub is not getting a signal, can you adjust the bass/treble to the main speakers?
Also, the picture and signal issues have worked themselves out. I set the upconvert to 1080p for all dig and ana signals and things are working great. You are right on the channel stability on the Cable box. The output indicator on the box itself, on say Discovery HDT, changes from 480 to 720 to 1080 on its own - I do think I have a few box problems. Its old (I have had it 1 year and it was used when I got it) and it locks up from time to time as well. Its from time Warner Cable, any suggestions on a good box I could request from them?
Thanks again.
