When i was talking to a stereophile friend yesterday, his recommendation would be to use the optical connection for dvd to get that crisp, clear sound for the movie theatre experience but to use the analog for music.
However my dilemma was that i started off by looking for a dvd player to double as a cd player as well. Obviously i cannot use both the optical and analog connections unless the Onkyo receiver can actually switch between the two, and i don't think i paid enough money for such an option.
So instead, i'm now looking for a single dvd tray and will look around for a good used cd player 5 tray. Ebay here we come again!!
