Thanks for this. I'm glad that I was able to know the name of those cables. I usually see them but I don't have an idea on what they are and how they are being used. This is very comprehensive.

Dustin, have a few questions concerning cabling, involving trying to connect a normal DVD player, Denon 3910 and a Samsung BD-P1200 Blu-ray Disc Player to my Denon AVR 4806 receiver then to my display which is a NEC-50XM3A. I have connected the 3910 to my Denon AVR-4806 utilizing the normal analog interconnects, then used composite cables to my NEC. When I connect my Samsung to the Denon receiver using an HDMI cable, then using a HDMI/DVI output cable to the DVI input on my NEC (no HDMI input), can I utilize the existing audio cabling to receive the audio portion of the Blu-ray player? Secondly can the switching between modes be done at the receiver end (i.e. 5.1, 7.1, NEO, DTS etc.?) When I tranfer from the normal DVD player to the Samsung, do I use the monitor switching (it has HDTV 1-3 options)I know you mentioned digital video cabling, however when I look at the audio inputs on my NEC (below the DVI input) it only has left and right inputs. Is this how I connect to get the digital audio portion of the Blu-Ray? Please be explicit, I'm just an amateur home theather buff with above average knowledge of interconnects, etc.

Thanks for your time and effort

I have a quick question for you:
Is there a digital audio cable out there that has an optical end on one side and the regular digital audio end on the other side? I'm trying to connect my cable box to a new home theater system and the cable box has a regular digital audio out while the receiver only has an optical audio in port. Thanks

MY AUDIO RECEIVER HAS A VIDEO PROCESSOR BUILT INTO IT TO CONVERT TO 1080i AND I HAVE AN HD CABLE BOX. IF I ROUT MY SIGNAL FROM THE CABLE BOX THRU THE RECEIVER WILL MY PICTURE BE BETTER THAN A DIRECT OUTPUT FROM THE CABLE BOX TO THE HDTV?

ANY FEEDBACK IS WELCOMED AND PLEASE DO NOT BE AFRAID TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL THE THORY BEHIND YOUR ANSWER.

MANY THANKS.
