yep, I agree the manual needs to offer up some better descriptions and instructions. I have all of my components hooked up HDMI except my xbox 360( Composite version - WHITE ) and I'm using only the Axiom speakers, so I wasn't aware of the limitation. Sorry to sound like a know-it-all if I came across that way. I'm still playing around with the i/p scaler. It's difficult to have the best of all worlds. PLease let me know if you find a site or figure how to set up to have SD and HD satillite signals work seemless without having to manually adjust each time. I find this very annoying.

Anyway, you'll be real happy with the Axiom speakers. Once I tuned the sub ( ep500 ) it shook the house. I also bought the Denon iPod Wireless adapter ( ASD-3w ). Save yourself the cash if your planning to get it... not worth it IMO.
