Just ordered my new receiver, Sony STR DA 2400es to go with the above, will have to re-organise my racks just to get an HDMI to reach from the TV to the receiver, just wondering will I still require my Digital coaxial lead from receiver to blu-ray to carry the older sound codecs(DDigital DTS) or will the HDMI lead handle everything, allowing me to remove the coax altogether ?
Also what do I set the HDMI output on the 550 to to allow the receiver to take over ?
Does it matter what the 'audio priority' is set to (ie analougue outputs or optical/coaxial) since neither will actually be getting used.....
Amazing what can keep you up at night......and I haven't even got the Receiver yet......lol....
Oh almost forgot I was browsing the instructions for the receiver(downloaded from Sony site) and notice that if you are not using the full 7.1 set up as in my case you can use the free set of speaker terminals to biamp the receiver(receiver has a biamp setting through this surround terminal), now I was going to use the 2 sets of front speaker terminals to biwire......will the biamp option offer any improvement sound wise over biwiring ?
thanks
