As I mentioned in above, I'm getting a Onkyo 886 and was wondering a few things. I know that you have 885, but it should be kind of similar to the 886.

Do you have a list of recommended settings for the 886 and the BDP-83?

Are you still using an SMS-1 (I have one also) in your system? If so, did you set it up before or after Audyssey setup?

If you run your HDMI cables into the Onkyo, will it pass video and audio in standby mode or do you have to power it on? I'm assuming that you would need to power it on to get it to send a signal to the TV, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
