The main reason I purchased the 970 was for the DVD analog inputs. I have conected my computer to the 970 via MOTU 2408, which is a high end 8 ch A/D D/A converter. I am only geting output from the front channels. I have configured the DVD input, and tried different surround modes with no luck. I have pluged the rear channel outs from the 2408 directly into my amp to be sure that I have output. The manual says that you should not use the analog ins with no DVD-A or SACD capability. I am not familiar with DVD-A, but I don't think I have it. The reason I can't use a digital out is that I mix in surround using Sony Vegas software that only has analog outs for surround (digital out is stereo only). Does anyone know if my gear is compatible? Thanks in advance.
