I recently purchased a new system as follows:
Samsung 61" DLP projection TV
HL-R6167W
Yamaha receiver -
HTR5890
5.1 Speakers:
Front and center -
Klipsch Synergy SLX
Surround Back -
Klipsch Synergy S-2
Subwoofer -
Klipsch Synergy Sub-12
I'll most likely purchase another set of SLX and connect them to surround (back) and move the S-2 speakers to surround (side) for a 7.1 setup.
first dilema..... connecting the subwoofer.....
1. Receiver pre-out sub to sub line in left/lfe? 1 RCA cable is all I need?
2. Receiver speakers A to sub high level in, then sub high level out to speakers A?
3. or both?
Second dilema..... video connections
I currently have the
HD cable tuner/DVR and DVD player connected to the receiver with component video cables. The cable tuner has DVI out and the TV has HDMI in. Will DVI to HDMI give me a much better picture than component video? This also defeats the purpose of having an HD compatible receiver as I will have to change video source on the TV if I use the DVI connection.
