Awaiting LX5090 and new to all this (last TV bought 13 yrs ago!). Just the panel - no speakers.
I'm using an oldish Pioneer receiver - VSX-C301 - which handles 5.1/DTS well.
I'm only intending to connect a V+ box and BD player. Can I connect these both to 5090 via HDMI and use the optical output from the 5090 to supply the receiver?
If so will the 5090 optical output transmit audio from V+ broadcasts which don't have 5.1 sound?
Alternatively if I connect V+/BD audio directly to amp will I run into any problems with sync/controlling audio with 5090 remote?
Sorry if this has been covered already - couldn't find anything on the forums so far.
