Hi
I have just purchased a 606 and wanted to get some expert feedback on the best way to connect everything to it. I am sure this would be useful not just for myself but for many others in a similar position.
The devices I want to attach are:
Sky HD
Xbox 360 (Non-HDMI)
HDMI DVD player (can't remember the model, it's pretty basic though(£45)
The Xbox seems straightforward enough - component for picture and optical for sound.
For Sky HD I would have thought it best to use the HDMI for both picture and sound, however I have seen a number of threads where people have said they used optical - can someplone please explain why this should be? Is it because optical can handle DD bitstream and does a better job of it than HDMI?
For the DVD player I assume the same as Sky as again there are no HD sound formats but please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks very much in advance
