Thanks, guys.
I still can't get the 7.1 L and R outs from the LMC-1 to work right, whether using coaxial digital from HD-A1 or analog. "Bypass" was selected always in the LMC-1. PCM is selected in the HD-A1 audio out menu. The other choice is "Bitstream", which I haven't tried today, but yesterday wasn't working.
When I use the "Line Out," all is ok. What's weird is I take out the L from the L of "Line Out" and stick it in the L of the 7.1 out, do the same with the R. When using the 7.1 outs from the LMC-1 to the LPA-1, the L channel moves to the right speaker, an the R channel doesn't come in at all. I used the test feature of the LMC-1 to check that...
Stil playing with it.
Thanks again,
Rodney
