I have and LG 1080p 50" plasma
Dennon AVR 985 (No HDMI)
Denon DVD (No HDMI or Upconversion)
Directv HD DVR
What is the best method of hooking up surround sound? I currently have a HDMI cable from the HD Direct tv box directly into the HD LG plasma. Works great but no surround. I have 4 polk audio in ceiling speakers, center speaker, and MTX subwoofer. I have all these wired into the Denon receiver but dont know if I should tie the denon into the tv or directtv box? Should I hook the optical or coax from the denon to the directv box, Or the optical from the denon directly into the TV? I am considering buying a receiver with HDMI for simplicity but want be able to afford another denon right now. Is the 985 obselete? I am only looking for surround no video. Any help appreciated. Thanks
