i have just bought the above mentioned amp, along with a set of q-acoustics 1010i 5.1 surround sound speakers...
i have a panasonic 50" TX-P50G10B, ps3, xbox elite, htpc (with hdmi out and asus xonar d2 soundcard) and a normal sky+ plus (SD)...
to say i am overwhelmed would be an understatement. i couldn't believe the instruction manual for the amp was only in english!
i consider myself to be a pretty intelligent and tech-savvy person, but this has made me rethink just how competent i am.
i thought i would enjoy setting it all up, and i knew it would be difficult, BUT alot of fun doing it...
however, i would just like some guidance on a quick-start setup to get me going, and then i can tweak as i learn more and more about the sheer power of what i'm looking at!
i'm looking for tips on amp settings and whether to use optical (spdif???) leads coming from my plasma to the amp? or from my sky+ box to the amp??? basic things like that would be great!
at the minute, the speakers are all wired up correctly, and i have hdmi cables going to the amp from my ps3, xbox elite, and my htpc.
i then have a hdmi going from my amp to the plasma. i'm really unsure which is the best default hdmi in for which device on the amp, so any guidance here would be good...
i also thought i could run the optical digital audio cable from the plasma to the back of the amp and get the sound through my 1010i's, but i'm unable to work out how to do this - again a pointer or tip here would be great...
thanks in advance guys!
