Thanks - I thought of that, but can't get a straight answer from the cable company whether this will work. A second issue is how this would possibly work with multiple sources, e.g. TV, DVD, VCR, etc.
Audio with an HDTV with only digital audio output?
I'm using my current TV's analog audio outputs into a power amplifier. It works quite well. This is obviously only 2 channel, and I have no desire to go multi. The plasma I'm considering (Panasonic) only has a digital output. Since I'm fussy about high-quality sound and don't want to buy a cheap receiver/processor to convert to analog, I'm wondering what my options are. A different plasma that has variable analog outputs? Is there a decent processor/receiver for not much money? Something else? I don't need a lot of power by the way. Speakers are Merlin TSM-Ms. Thanks!
