now my dilema..on another board someone said that unless i used the 6 rca cables from the mits to the yammi, i would not get surround sound from the dvd-a




Not quite. If you don't use the 6 RCA cables, and instead use the digital link, you can still get 5.1 audio. What you won't get is the higher fidelity 5.1. DVD-A is capable of 24 bit 96 kHz audio which is too much data to push through SPDIF. In order to send 5.1 through the SPDIF, it will default to traditional 16/44.

In reply to:

he also stated that the sub output from the mits should go directly to the sub.




Isn't the sixth input on your receiver (and the corresponding output on the DVD player)0 for LFE? If so, you're transmitting the data to the receiver and it should then be able to hand it off to the sub.

In reply to:

the sub goes thru the yammi now, is active when playing a's, and like i said the active speakers show on the receiver.




Sounds like it's getting the data so I think you're fine.
