...I wanted a little advice on the best way to hook it up for my system. I have a Pani RP91 DVD-A Player, Pioneer Elite VSX-26 (THX Ultra) receiver with the front channel pre-outs wired to 2 Arcam Aplha 8 power amps. Basically I use the receivers processing and it's center and surround amplification only, whilst letting the 2 Arcams bi-amp my front channels for music (and movies, of course).

I would like the Pioneer to remain my video media hub (DVD's, TV, GamCube) becuase of the convenience and THX post processing, but when playing DVD-A, CD's or Vinyl - I want the ICBM to kick in. My DVD player is connected via a digital Co-ax to my receiver's DVD input and also via the six channel output to the receiver's CD input.

Any of this make sense? My head hurts just thinking about it...
