Hi All! Even though I am a hifi junkie from years ago, I lack some knowledge about digital equipment. Specifically, what is the advantage of connecting a dvd through the receiver, other than the ability to control it from the receiver? Old school dictates that direct connections are best to miminize loss of transmission and potential distortion (from dvd to projector via component, and dvd to receiver via optical coax). My not yet complete system consists of:
Denon avr5803 receiver
Denon dvd 5000 player
Sony VPL-10WHT projector
Monster hts5000 filter
Pronto tsu3000 remote w/ rf
Thanks in advance.
