Thanks everyone!

Ratpack, I think that's a good idea and I did bypass the receiver (video only) for my DirecTV. But not for the the DVD. I don't remember for sure now, but it seems like I didn't have enough inputs to do both. I'll check it out next time I have to pull it out and see. Thanks for the tip!

I'll have to check out one of those remotes, man that could save me a bunch of room and a bundle on batteries! lol

Well I'm really starting to love my new speakers and receiver now that everything is working right. It sounds great and I couldn't be happier!
