Do I need the digital coax connection at all, if I am only going to use the 2900 for analog playback & mutli channel music?
I'm guessing that I still need it for the audio portion of DVDs. Correct?


I don't quite get the question, so I'll asnwer it from both angles. The coax on the receiver? Yes, if you're using a different DVD player for DVD-video. THe coax on the 2900? No - regardless of whether you use the 2900 for DVD-videos or not.
