OK I am in the process of purchasing the 1070 and am confused about what are my best connection choices. I have a Oppo 970 and a Mitsubishi LT3280. The LT has both DVI and HDMI. The 970 has no DVI. I have the 970 as I wanted a universial player and do not have a large TV. I am also planning to use 5.1 with Apeerion Speakers.

So should I
1. HDMI CD/DVD to TV and the DVD audio direct to the 1070? If so what which audio choice should I make? Same question for TV audio.

2. HDMI to DVI cable from DVD and TV? I assume I lose the audio with this cable. Therefore what shouold I use for the audio portion from the DVD and TV. I assume I only need the audio for TV which I use little.

What makes for a better connection?

Any other comments or suggestions?
