| DVD sound via audio-only sound system? Yes, DVD Players will play just like a CD player through the line outputs into any preamp. I use a Pioneer DVD this way. And yes, the digital out is only for playing AC-3 and DTS surround sound and could also be used with an audio DAC. | |
| Help, Strange Static Sound Recurring If its not the amp, but it is coming from the amp and not a source to the amp, then I am stumped. Maybe you have a bad interconnect cable? If you have consistancy problems with the electric, it sounds like those power regenerators or voltage corr... | |
