Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question

Ok, so this big bad boy showed up yesterday and I have it unpacked and ready to go. I read through the manual today but am a bit confused on the setup for my system.

I will use the 5.1 analog inputs to my Rotel receiver (no HDMI inputs). What do I do for audio as I want to take advantage of the good DACs, obviously. Two channel analog or do the 5.1 analog cables take care of it? I think I know the answer (2-channel analog separate from the 5.1 analog), but I want to be sure. I'll definitely need better analog cables for the 2-channel if that's the answer...

Thanks for your help on this terribly dumb question.

I think to take full advantage of the 4 ESS Sharc 9018 chipsets you need to run XLR's for the stereo. Pretty sure I read it in a review off the Oppo website. I have the 95 myself and just received my XLR's so I will test to see.

Dan_tbn12, visually the Oppo 95 for blue ray 1080P looks absolutely stunning on my 58" plasma. I think being system dependant of your HDMI, power cord, and initial set up in your player and tv. Once all set to setup disc you will find nothing more to look at than the 95 for a long while.

On the audio side I do notice alot more surround effects being noticeably pronounced than with my Oppo 83SE previously owned. I have listened to a few music cd's but haven't really been engaged as things are hectic. I have moved to a new house and I am in the midst of setting up my whole system. I will return with a more detailed answer...

The multi channel analogue can still be used for movies. The processor should say multi channel and the Oppo will show DTS Master Audio 5.1/7.1.
