John K,
Thanks, I know I'm probably going to just repeat you here, just so I'm clear. As long as I connect the Blue Ray to a receiver via digitally ie. coax, optical, hdmi, the receiver then processes the info and sends it to the speakers according to the settings on the receiver.
Thant makes sense to me. The digital outs of the dvd player I'm assuming is just some bit stream of info, but the analog outs have already been processed. So would you use the dvd speaker size and distance settings if you were sending the analog out to a preamp, without digital processing?
