If an amplifier has less power than the speaker can handle, there is a risk of clipping, and that will damage a speaker for sure Correct. You don't have to worry about too much power. Also, unless your buying a very high end receiver or a dedicated amp, the wattage ratings are always exaggerated. Try putting that cheap $200 walmart 1000w receiver on a watt meter, crank it up, and you'll notice that the entire unit is only drawing 300w! I find that the power rating on none-high end receivers are pretty much meaningless.

VIDEO: TV: (monitor out), component video DVD: (tv input) component video no 2 and hdmi LD: (dvd/ld input) composite or s-video AUDIO: DVD: (tv input) Ilink, digital audio jack 2 (in case Ilink fails) LD: (dvd/ld input) ac-3 rf, coaxial digital and analog audio.

In most cases, a SPDIF input, with a decent coax cable, will sound better than ILINK (If you are not using SACD, ILink is not really something) Why use component and HDMI from one source.... And doesn't your TV have HDMI? <= if not, are you sure the receiver will convert all signals to component out? My receiver will convert all sources (Composite, Component and HDMI) to HDMI, but not down from HDMI to Component/Composite or Component to Composite.... For me, it's not a problem.... My TV has HDMI On my receiver are connected: LD Player, HD-DVD player, Blu-Ray player, DVD player, HDD-DVD recorder, S-Betamax recorder, SVHS recorder and a Computer... Using different connections, but all going thru HDMI out to TV

Using different connections, but all going thru HDMI out to TV you are correct, integra. my tv has 2 hdmi inputs, one's the ld player via scaler, and the other is the dvd. i'm gonna try the Ilink. the 49txi upconverts composite and s-video to component. i'll set the front L/R to large, and all other speakers to small. acceptable crossovers are 50 and 80hz.

substance wrote: 79avi has hdmi 1.1 will not output sacds through hdmi. You can play cds and dvds, they will output sound on hdmi. For sacds you can use analog rca or ilink. Ilink is jitter free and keeps it in digital domain. 79avi will not pass 6ch pcm so ilink is needed for dvd-a as well UPDATE: i am now the proud owner of a Pioneer Elite VSX 59TXI. good idea. oh how i missed 6.1 surround at home.
