Morning All,
I have just installed my new Pioneer VSX-1017 AV Amp and have a couple of questions - probably stupid questions but please bear with me.
I have a fairly good HIFI which includes an AudioLab Amp and PreAmp which is bi-wired to a pair of Mission M35i - plenty for our small lounge.
The Surround speakers are currently some old Pioneer's which are due an upgrade however I cannot do this until funds permit.
My first question is: Can I use the Mission M35i as the HIFI speakers and the fronts for the AV Amp? I would clearly not try to run both the AV Amp and HIFI at the same time, however it would mean that both the HIFI Amp & PreAmp would be technically joined to the AV Amp.
My thinking behind this is that surely the Missions would act as better fronts than the current Pioneer's and also better than a pair of VM1 which I am looking to upgrade to. Also if I can use the Mission's it would free up cash for a better Centre, Rear's and Sub + space is at a premium.
The DVD player I currently have is fairly old and will be upgraded when funds permit however currently I just want to get it working as best it can. It will only output Video by SCART or SVideo. My plan is to buy a SCART to Component cable to run the DVD into the AV Amp and then Component to the TV. The audio will go via an optic cable - is this the best way of doing it?
I am new to this whole AV thing and my above questions are probably stupid however I could not find the answers by searching or in the manual.
Many Thanks
Jonathan
