Along these lines I have a follow-up question:

I used the digital optical output on my DVD player and hooked it up to the 1050 Optical 1 in. Then I connected S-video "monitor out" from the 1050 to my TV (video 1). I hear sound from my speakers when on "DVD" setting but get no picture on the TV. I cycle through the video inputs on the TV just to make sure but no picture. The 1050 manual is kind of skimpy on actual connections. Am I hooking things up correctly? The S-video connection from the 1050 to the TV should be through "monitor out," right?
