Thanks guys! I'll take a look at that manual. It sounds like it should work fine. The TV doesn't have any HDTV inputs other than ATSC (1 of the first HDTV sets sold) so I won't have to worry about having a bunch of I/O on the receiver.

desperado-
What are you using for rear & center speakers since your fronts are about as power hungry as the ML's? Did you have any trouble ballancing the sound?

I'm thinking of in-ceiling mounting the rear speakers.
