Looking into getting a new amp, but do not really know where, what how why etc……..
I want to connect up to my current kit, a Sony 40W4500 tv, Sony DBP-S550 blueray, Sky+, Kev 2005 (5.1 speakers)
Current amp is a Yamaha RX-V630RDS.
Basically I want to get the correct sounds in the formats attended from the blueray, Sky+ and possible a Popcornhour A-110. I do not have a CD player or anything connected to it, so it is more for video (might play some mp3’s from the popcorn hour if I get it, but this will mainly be dvd backed up avi's, and camcorder avi's)
Is there things I should look out for, or anything I should avoid?
The YAMAHA DSPAX763 looks quite good, but not really sure, any advice wellcome!! (Or is my amp still okay???)
Currently my Sony DBP-S550 is connected to the multi-channel, Liteon 2010 (media streamer) via Digital Optical cable, Sky+ via analogue (red & white cable)
--------------
Why do some amps have video going to them as well, do the hdmi cables (one from each) from the blueray, Sky+ and the A-110 go to the amp, and then one hdmi cable from the amp to the tv? Why is this, to make sure the sound and vision are in sync??
