hi all
I would like to buy a pioneer plasma the lx5090, since it doesnt have sound i need to connect to an amp, not interested in buying those extra speakers for the kuro
1. i have a PS3 and an old Sony str-db830 amp. I was thinking of using optical audio cable between amp and TV. will that work?
2. or do i need to get an new amp? if i need, i was looking at the pioneer VSX-lx51 VSX-LX51 Pioneer Amplifier, AV Receiver - Audio - Video , that way can use 1 remote for TV and amp. your thoughts?
3. This leads me to another question, a new amp should enable me to have True HD etc..., but I have read that the PS3 doesnt do DTS HD and master audio formats and that it cannot transmit these sources undecoded via bitstream to amp. Does that mean I cannot get DTS HD and Master audio, unless I get a blu ray player that can transmit full HD via bitstream?
been reading stuff but I am getting confused
thx for your help
