I have a Sony S560 DVD player, XBR400 TV and just received a great gift... Sony STRDA5ES receiver. I have regular cable TV. I'm over my head but working to figure it out and have some questions.
There are multiple ways to connect DVD to receiver to TV. Is my plan below the best?
VIDEO: Connect component outputs of DVD directly to the TV. There's the option to connect these outputs to the receiver and then to the TV but I only have the DVD for component source so don't think I need to go thru the receiver.
AUDIO: Use Digital Coax Output of DVD to inputs of receiver. Is this the prefered connection as opposed to using digital optical fiber optic connection or using the DVD's multichannel 5.1 outputs to the receiver's multichannel inputs?
Also, what is DPL II and DTS Neo:6? I've read about these on the hardware forum but have no idea what they are, when to use them, etc.
