Now that it has become available I am looking at the Denon 1920 DVd player, but soem advice on how best to wire it all up would be required.
I currently have a Hitachi 42PD5200 and also a Sony DAVS500 DVD player and speaker system, currently the DVd is connected on AV1 via s-video and my Sky box is connected via scart onto AV4, but if I got the Denon 1920, I presume the best connection would be via HDMi to DVI cable, to the DVI input on the panel, then what about the Sky, would that be best connected to the Denon via Scart and then would it run through the DVI port, or would I just run that direct as at the moment direct to the panel via scart? Also, could I use, the surround sound on my Sony and in effect be using the Sony as an amp? If so woudl this need to be connected via the digital ports on teh Denon and Sony, if so what leads would I need, or be best? All gets confusing doesnt it??
The other thing, I presume teh Denon has phono outputs for individual speakers on teh back, which I presume I could hook up a surround system in time to replace the surround on the Sony, if so anyone recommend a suitable set of surround speakers?
All sounds a lot but before the wife will let me splash the cash I need to know what I am doing, also what leads will I need if so can anyone recommend auitable make and price and where best to get them from, teh leads from DVD/Sky etc to panel woudl need to be about 1.5 to 2m long.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
Many thanks, James
