I am not sure about the sound but component video was better than the DVI between this unit and my grand vega III lcd sony. DVI was too dark with a great loss of detail in the shadows. I bought it for DVI and I use Component video.
DVD recomendation
PLease help with a DVD recomendation...I have Marantz 8200 receiver with M&K 750 speakers, Sony RP LCD TV and use it 95% for HT...Any thoughts on the Denon 2200 DVD or should I consider a DVD with a DVI output connection??? Thinking about a $500 DVD budget if you have any other recommnedations.
