Slitty , forgive me for hijacking your thread .
I too am interested in this aspect of HT . I am setting up a new system for HT use only , all low end bigbox stuff .
My old system used the DVD player for all video work and I had it direct to the TV . I used a processor and amp for the audio portion taking the signal via toslink from the DVD player to my pre/pro . I ran my cable box the same way .
Can I do the same type of connection with the new style of video ie. Bluray and HD-DVD .
In other words can I depend on the DVD player (HD , Bluray) to continue handling all of the video processing and use an A/VR for the audio portion of the equation ? I have a HD cable box and TV .
I think that this is where Slitty is trying to go here .
Thank you .
