Alan,
Thanks for the info (as well as a couple of e-mails you sent me about product inquiries last month). I'm pretty sure that I will go direct to the TV with my players as I have 4 video inputs. I'll route the audio to the receiver when the time comes and go from there. I have component inputs on the TV, but am running S-video for my DVD. I'm extremely pleased with the picture quality, but can't wait until I have the time to get and setup the HT system... audio is the definite weak link in my current situation, and my target system (Epic Master mated with Denon 1802 or Onkyo 595) should bring everything to an awesome level. Take care, and thanks for the opportunity to be a part of the forum!
Rob
