Hi ppl
I am very new to the whole home cinema arena but after quite a bit of research I'm awaiting delivery of a Pioneer PDP-505XDE, a DV-868AVi-S DVD player and VSX-AX5Ai amplifier. I already have speakers and sub-woofer but have got little to no idea as to how to go about setting all this up!
My understanding is as follows:
HDMI cable between PDP-505XDE media box and the 868.
Optical from 868 to AX5ai
Optical from my PlayStation 2 to AX5ai
Optical from my exisiting CD Player to AX5ai
The PS2 comes with a video cable and would that plug directly into the media box (SCART)?
I know the amplifier has all sorts of sockets and such, so does any video equipment need to plug into the back of it and if so how?
Also, all of the Pioneer equipment I'm waiting for has iLink connectivity. I take it a 4 pin firewire cable would daisychain all the equipment together?
I told you I was new to this!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
