Got the receiver and hooked it all up. Works great. No problems thus far.
Here's how I decided to hook it up:
BLU-RAY to RECEIVER via HDMI
RECEIVER to TV via HDMI
CABLE BOX to TV via HDMI (audio/video)
CABLE BOX to RECEIVER via digital optical audio (audio only)
CD PLAYER to RECEIVER via RCA...
Thanks for your input Jason.
I do not have the TV connected through digital optical output. My CABLE BOX and BLU-RAY are connected via HDMI to the TV and separate digital audio connections for each to the RECEIVER.
I am pretty sure I am getting 5.1 Dolby Digital through my external sources...
First post so please be kind:
I am expecting my STR DN1000 next week and need some points of clarification.
My current system is:
RECEIVER- Sony 5.1 STR-DE635 Receiver (to be replaced with the STR DN1000)
TV- Panasonic TH-46PZ80U Plasma
BLU-RAY - Sony BDP-BX2
CABLE BOX - Motorola DCT6416 III...
